Looks GREAT to me. I have nothing out there by mine but a mailbox...... You almost have me motivated!

I love it! So colorful and cheery. Bet the Mail Person likes it also!
The county is getting ready to build the Green River Park Way right down my street so don't know if I'll have to move it or they might buy everyone out on this street! Big Bummer!

Nice work! I love the pink baby's breath, wish I could grow it here.

Get out there to that mailbox, Tony! You can't have yours all nekkid when mine looks so spiffy!

Wanda,I'd be pretty unhappy not knowing what was gonna happen to my MAILBOX, let alone my HOUSE! That stinks!! Hope they get it sorted soon, and you can have some peace of mind about it.

Thanks, Katkin! It was only a little bed, but it was a start. I suspect the baby's breath will only be an annual for me, but it was still worth $3.98 for all those beautiful little flowers. I had never seen that type before. I used to grow the tall, airy white ones when I lived in PA, but never saw any down here. I hope I get a few more months out of it, anyway.

Marcia

Marcia, looks great,specially with the baby breath. The rain coming your way will do wonders and make it all grow. I hope you had a good night of sleep all hook up with tubes and wires.
Felix

Oh, Felix, you crazy man, you! I actually had a better night's sleep this time than the first one (which made Chinese water torture seem like fun!) because they fitted me with a CPAP mask, and it worked! Wooohoooooo. As soon as the doctor has reviewed the tests and prescribed it for me, I'll be getting one, and I HOPE this will mean I will start getting a good night's sleep for the first time in years! And maybe BREATHE all night. (The first test showed I stop breathing as often as 44 times an hour!! ACK!)

Glad you like the mailbox bed. The rain just chased me back inside, but I think it has stopped already. Is it raining up your way?

Marcia

It's raining here still. It has been inching south. I have been weeding like crazy with no gloves. I hate gloves but my hands are hurting from the thorns from dry asparagus ferns. Ants have also had a feast on me.I want to get it all weeded in time for all the blooms. Amaryllis are everywhere ready to burst. Wisteria has started to bloom.everything else is putting out their growth. I planted lots of seeds even one with no idea what it is. it'll be a surprise.My plum color
Chinese fringe tree is budding. Tony's variegated tapioca plants are coming out of the ground. Marcia's Seaside Golden Rod is growing and I´m hoping that the stupid blue heron does not eat my lonely Coy. He already ate 28 young Goldfish..
Yeap, crazy man here but enjoying life for it is good my dear friends.
Felix

Marcia, my son went through a sleep clinic and now wears the mask. It has been such a help for him. Hope yours does the same for you. Good luck.

Very pretty Marcia. Love the colors and the pink baby's breath is something else.

Wanda ~ If it becomes imminent domain, get yourself a lawyer. The county will try to give you a LOT less money if you don't.

FlowerLady

Felix, I'm glad you are getting a lot done, and you are getting some good rain. And you are only crazy in the BEST of ways.

Happygirl, thanks for that input. So far, everyone I have heard of who has tried one has said it made a huge difference in their lives. I'm hoping for the same.

Flowerlady, thanks very much! Yes, the pink baby's breath is just so sweet! I will let you know how long it lasts down here.

Marcia

Very pretty! Love the Mona Lavender and of course the pink baby's breath. Never heard of that. It looks so compact - more like alyssum. We had the white baby's breath everywhere in Montana. It was like a weed, but I loved it.

~Betsy

Marcia, looks really nice. I never saw pink baby's breath. Very pretty!
Jan

What a beautiful color combination! You did a great job, just like with your Ali Baba fountain. Very inspiring.

Evelyn :-)

Very nice!!!

You ladies are WAY too kind. It just happens to be the only thing "done" in my yard right now, besides the fountain. It sure isn't much, and when I think of how much MORE I had last year than I do now, it's sort of depresseing. But it's my own fault, and I'll get it all cleaned up and replanted and pruned back again. Someday!

Thanks anyway!
Marcia

Gosh, Marcia...that spot has so much going on!! I just love the color combinations and all the different foliages... you've got some great goings on in that small space! I'm still oh SO in love with your little fountain, tho.....can we say, "Fountain envy" ?? ?? Great show with the mailbox bed, tho....just love it!

Thanks, Beth! My usual planting philosophy is fill it up good, and let them fight it out! I wanted this bed to fill out quickly, and truthfully, there are a couple of things in there that probably won't be happy and will get pulled. Also, I think the baby's breath will be a goner in a month or two, but by then, the little piece of sweet potato vine will be filling that spot. The whole thing is an experiment, and will probably end up eventually with just a few of the plants that are really thriving filling up the whole space. But for now, I like looking at all the colors.

Marcia (I still love my fountain, too...though it doesn't gurgle quite as loud as it first did. Pump is going a bit slower now.)

Marcia, I sent you an email about the sleep clinic.:o)
