Formal Garden Work - will post pics

14 years ago

Today, it was sunny and warm (in the upper 60s),and I was able to get a lot of work done out in the Garden.

I moved my white statue of the goddess Hebe (now identified as the Goddess of Youth) over into the daylily bed so it is in line with the new steps leading up from the patio. I used a dolly and that really took a load off my bones. It really looks good where I have it now. Much better as a focal point for the entire garden. That was what was needed to bring it all together and focussed. Very glad I made myself do it! (ha ha ha)

Then I moved two roses - a white unknown rose and one of the Sunny yellow KnocksOut roses. Also one of the white daylilies and then some of those white rocks and seashells.

Then, I transplanted the golden arborvitae to a new location and I hope it won't get so scorched there. Transplanted two white Dianthus down to the steps at the base of the two boxwoods at the top of the steps. Will describe further tomorrow with the pics. Supposed to be in the 70s tomorrow. Yippee!

I'm envious. We've had so much rain this month the ground stays saturated. I was hoping for a dry week so I could move some things this weekend, but now there's a 50% chance of more rain on Friday. I will say the soft ground makes weeding much easier, but I'd rather be digging and transplanting.

Oh Annie! You are so lucky. Sounds like you got a great head start. I cannot wait to see your pics. We keep lingering in the 40s and a lot of rain so I haven't begun. Hurry up warm weather!

Can't wait to see the pics Annie! Cold and snowy here today. :( Winter on the prairies sometimes arrives in March!

We're still two months before spring, but we do get a few daffodils, by the end of March. So nice that you can be out in the garden...and I want to see pictures, too!

It was very warm today - way up into the 70s!
Tomorrow it's supposed to go back to more Spring-like temps, but remain in the 50s & 60s for the next several days, anyway.
Flowers are up and daffodils and Jonquils are blooming. Most of the flowering shrubs have bloom buds and the weeping willow is making leaves. My peach trees have fuzzy pink blossom buds, as does the Jane Magnolia. Even the Naked Ladies are up and growing!
Who knows what next week may bring. A cold front could move down into Oklahoma and give us a nice deep blue freeze with ice and snow. I hope not, but it could. Spring is very erratic here, in general, but this year it has come a month early. I can't say that I mind one bit! (lol)
Will take pics tomorrow and post.
Please check back.
Thanks for looking.
