March Madness (not basketball)

Happy March 1st everyone! The weather has been so beautiful. The garden is marching right out of winter into spring with a madness, (enthusiasm). Although it's not officially spring. If Old Man Winter decides to make a late winter visit the gardener will be running around with madness, (rage), pulling her hair with short bursts of mumbling coming out of her mouth...hopefully this will not happen, the neighbors already think the gardener gardens with madness, (wild foolishness). This sight would only confirm their suspicions.

Petunia
Verbena

Pansies, Daffs and Dianthus

African Daisies, Stock, Petunias, not in bloom Larkspur and Clematis on the trellis.

We have two types of Peach trees, sorry I do not know their first names. It was a Peach Bloom in the post before last. Ya'll are smart!

My Dahlias are emerging too..I know it's early for them!

Today I am Thankful for this time of the year when the A/C and the heater both are turned off!

Fertilizer Friday AND Has Your Blog Content Been Lifted?

I just received an email from a fellow gardening blogger that a post of mine was lifted and posted on another blog. I verified this and found several other gardening blog posts on that sight that belong to some of ya'll. Please email me at rusdar at hotmail dot com and I'll give you the details.

The Bumbles are beginning to show up. White Petunia

The last Friday of February, can you believe it? Our February has been more Spring-like than I can ever recall. Oh, I am not complaining, I just don't want Old Man Winter to make a late visit and ruin what's going on in the gardens...join us over at http://tootsietime.blogspot.com/ to see what flowers/plants are being featured today.

Datura

Brugmansia

Pyrethrum-Painted Daisies

The large container of Pansies are just about to cover the Butterfly sign....hopefully the Butterflies will not need a welcome sign to visit. They have a standing invitation to my gardens.

I need an idea for the mailbox garden. It's full sun...I do have a Clematis on the mailbox...any suggestions?

Some of the Daffs in bloom...I still have some just emerging out of the soil and others with very swollen buds. Forgotten her name.

Ice Follies

February Gold

Erlicheer--double--yes, it is fragrant!

The long awaited blooms of the Camellia...

I do hope the rest of you will soon see Spring in your gardens.
