I won't be able to fit this swap into my calendar. Trying hard to get my house to the point where I can list it for sale. Great theme though and if it wasn't so busy here I would definitely join in.

I Hope I get some players this month. I am still logging into Houzz thru facebook. I am going to try to change Houzz again today for my new email. that way I will get the messages for games. At least I am getting in to my balances and shipments thru gmail. . MSN still refuses to verify my idenity for my email. No number to call, it is all automated. Need to set away from the internet or it drives me crazy.

Susan sign me up. Love different colors in the gardens. Thanks for hosting.

thought I hit send yesterday, but who knows ...Ive been having some issues getting on to houzz in general.

Susan ... would love to join ... Mother May I have the color NEON ..please

Mother May I have the color Pink....thanks

Oh Interesting colors !!

serious rain storms right now. I was just enjoying the coming on of the orange poppies and heirloom irises last night. hopefully by friday all will be sunny and the peonies buds will be full.

I am going to pass this month. Have a great month!

good morning Oh the rain brought in the cold wind. My tomatoes on the back deck getting tough. By the end the the month will be ready for plant out. Come on summer!

Out looking at the refreshed garden. I know I sent out a few green spice heuchera to this group when I split it 2 years ago. I can not remember it ever looking so pretty. and it seems to be tripled in size.

Happy Birthday Susan N. hope it's the best one yet.

Susan N. ~ hope u have a great day, its YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

Also, can you explain mother may I? Do we chose a color then the person we choose, we send the color of seeds to give them?

Yes that is the idea. Thought it would be better to choose a color you can fill the request for easier. I will take the last one.

Mother may I have the color Red !

Sign me up. Mother may I have the color yellow :)

Then we chose which one we will send to? I can send to red :)

Susan, I have to pass on joining in this month. We are traveling to South Carolina Wednesday for a week and my son and his fiancé announce they are having a wedding outdoors on the 26th. Their original wedding plans were squelched by Covid.

That means making a homecooked meal for my brother that is helping me. Glad I still have meat in the freezer i can pop in the pressure cooker. what kind of garden projects you all been working on?

Hello to all.

Happy Friyah!!!

hello how is everyone doing . another beautiful day in Ohio. I hope my arms hold out till weds. I plan on gardening everyday. my irises are burning up in the heat. making time to smell them everyday. In fact I am making it a point to smell everything and really try to think about the smell.

so glad you still have it Ruth. mine are not close yet to blooming. . I paired it with Forever Susan by my front deck so I could admire the detail.

I lost two oriental and one asiatic over winter but this is the best this one has done so far.

I am just getting my vegetable garden in. hope the tomatoes will be ok.I watered well yesterday. I know we are trying to win the fight with keeping our garden in order. .

Zinnia - Giant Bright Pink Beauty

Caladium - Pink Beauty

Strawberry Vanilla Pop arazzi

Shirley those zinnias should be stunning. I started 5 seeds of the Bright pink beauty. 4 days germanation. So planting now you should have seeds to save by fall.

Good afternoon on this chilly afternoon. I received Nicole's collection of great seeds. I am tempted to start the Anna Maria's tomatoes. Mine are getting flooded. I would love to list but gotta go out now. So much fun planning a amarath garden.
