Worry is like a rocking chair, it's gives you something to do but gets you nowhere!

Jack Frost...Sedum and Seedlings..

Jack Frost left a trail through my gardens this morning.. he ran across our roof and
across my car!
He didn't seem to bother the Breadseed Poppy seedlings from Catherine at http://agardenerinprogress.blogspot.com/
The Purple Coneflower fought back by turning a vibrant pink..
Cornflowers from seed were not bothered either..
The Coral Reef Sedum took in all in stride by..
turning a beautiful coral color.
My bird feeder that really isn't, didn't mind Jack's visit too much...
Look Ms. Frances at http://fairegarden.wordpress.com/ this is the Blue Fescue Grass I started from seed and you suggested I put it in my rock garden. I planted 13..
Anyone know anything about Ranuculas....I planted several banana looking bulbs (about 40, that's several isn't it Carol? at http://maydreamsgardens.blogspot.com/ and they are sprouting.

Here in North Florida we have gone from Summer to Winter..........several days in the 40's, all day long, today 50 something for a minute...over 6 inches of rain in two days, then a misty rain all day.......rain supposed to be here again on Tuesday...........might as well SNOW!

The Worst Part Of Christmas...

After dragging not even half of the decorations up from downstairs...
Taking things down to put up decorations...
Trying to decide where to place the decorations only to move them around 1oo times..(similar to gardening)


Packing up Fall decorations...haven't even got to the tree..
I feel like this!

Fertilizer Friday at Tootsie's!!

Friday, December the 4th, what do you still have blooming? Run on over to Canada http://tootsietime.blogspot.com and see what other gardener's have blooming.

Calendula-Apricot--started from seed, have some buds. See all of the sand? That's from a lot of rain in two days.
Bromeliad-Queen's Tears

My mystery plant has now bloomed. I have not seen one open all the way...Now, do you think this is a Hibiscus? Started from seed.
I do!
Double Knock Out Rose
This is on my 'have to have more' list...Lobelia
Milkweed....I also have the ones with the orange and yellow blooms.
Found this little Zinnia blooming this morning.
Autumn Joy-Sedum
I have Snapdragons tucked in several places, some I started from seed. They are just now beginning to bloom.
Society Garlic

It's 11:30 a.m. here in North Florida, 47 degrees, cloudy with a chance of rain....after 6 inches of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday we would really like the Sunshine Ball to make an appearance.
