Plant appreciation day

[sunshine]

Today is Plant Appreciation Day. Plants are our friends, our counterparts. We breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. Why, you could say its a marriage born heaven, or at least the garden of Eden.
Today is a perfect opportunity to get closer to the plant world. Pamper your indoor plants. Don't have any? Well, what are you waiting for? Go out and buy some. This special day falls in the spring, a perfect time for you to plant outdoor plants. If you are not yet a gardener, now is the time to start a relaxing and rewarding, lifetime gardening hobby.

It's rained non stop since daughter has been here and looks like will continue for the rest of her stay.  At least it's not quite as cold so our plants are growing and starting to bloom.

My hyacinths bloomed today and a few more tulips.

My hyacinths are already done.  The azaleas are bursting into color fast.

I have columbine and lithodora waiting to go in the ground, got my smoke tree moved, planted the rose of sharon, and moved my so-called "hardy" hibiscus, which at this point, doesn't seem so hardy...

I am hoping the weekend will yield a little less rain, and a little more warmth.  I was a sopping wet popcicle by the time I finished planting yesterday...

I still have 6 elephant ear bulbs to plant.  I seriously need a landscape company out here to fix what the county did to install a water meter for a new house going in up the road...they left a huge mess.

Ammonia should do it...
