Good thing....

  It is a good thing that I did some work yesterday as it has rained lightly all day. It is now afternoon and I only got to three of the pots that are usually on the porch. It has not been a very productive day but at least I did get some things done. Guess I will have to try for tomorrow......Or else start a water garden in our front yard. I even took out all the old dirt from the pots and replaced it with new potting soil. That should give everything a great boost. I started thinking about how long some of the pots have been around and decided that they just had to have some new dirt...!

The columbine has really bloomed well this spring. I am trying to get it started in some of the other flower beds and hope that they take off as well. I spread the seeds out when the seed pods were totally dry......Some places it has worked well and I have gotten a good start. Next year they should be doing great.

I did get some dark purple petunias to go with everything else. I realized that the colors were all tending to be pink and not much else. I hope to get a good interesting mix of color. I am spreading the marigolds and the purple petunias through all the pots and that should help.

Hopefully, all the plants will be grateful for the new soil, and fertilizer and produce lots of blooms.

Now I will get my book and hot tea and sit outside on the porch and enjoy the bird's song and the really cool weather and hope for more sunshine tomorrow........
