Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I only have about twenty crocuses so far, but it's enough to stop traffic...we were sitting out on the front porch this evening and so many people came by to gaze and marvel at those little purple flowers - I guess the fact that the rest of the snow melted only a few days ago makes them stand out even more! What's really exciting is that almost everyone along our row of rowhouses planted tulip bulbs last fall - so we should be getting an amazing crop of them all along this part of the street in a few weeks. (When we moved here eight years ago, nobody in this stretch of houses had any flower gardens!) _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	Guess what I get to do this weekend here in Maine??? I finally have two glorious days off. It's 75 degrees at this very moment (even though a few stubborn snow banks still exist)....I'll be in my flower gardens tomorrow weeding and raking. I'm so excited and sooooo ready after an unusually long winter....I am SO ready! _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Sounds like a wonderful way to spend your two days off. Have fun and know that all your hard work will soon become beautiful flowers and such for you to enjoy. Do you have vegetables as well you grow?

humlan Registered: 04/15/07 Posts: 1341 Loc: Sweden	Gardening isn´t really my thing..yet. But I am considering it after reading this thread..and other comments on this forum. I have a balcony that is quite big..with lots of space to potter around in. And so some weeding in.. BUT I just went for walk with my partner on this first glorious day of spring..weatherwise. And the beauty of all the trees amazes me and gladens me every year..you know, the buds on the trees..and the first tiny very green leaves that appear. It´s such a tender part of spring..and of life. And as a friend of mine always said, who has since passed away.."I am so thankful to be able to experience one more springtime!" Well, so am I..always have been! _________________________ "some sacred place.."

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Have any of you tried those upside down planters that you hang? I have several on my patio and boy do they ever save water and grow so lush. Retards crawling insects as well. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

This beautiful flower reminds me that my Mother use to say to me as I would come through the house in the early morn..."Morning Glory!" I was suppose to reply (and would), "Evening Star!" Don't ask me why...we just did. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW
