I've only just begun... Oops, omigosh, I forgot to get something for the fence basket (my mother's bicycle basket over there on the fence...empty as all get out). Last year it was filled with lobelia as I recall. Any ideas?
This year, clematis on John's trellis; last year, it was the lovely mandevilla (an annual). I've decided to leave the other two empty since so much is going on this summer with siding, etc.
The mess above still awaits. I was so tired that I simply walked away without doing another thing. Let's see, a blueberry bush, lavender, lantana, and some zinnias must yet be planted.
I could keep a small army busy. John is running errands related to gardening; my daughter is doing the grocery shopping for Monday's bbq, and I am blogging. What's wrong with this picture? ☺
A very happy and blessed Memorial Weekend to you...
Nothing wrong with that! :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun gardening...for the basket - how about a Margerite Sweet Potato vine? They look great, kind of chartruse in color, they trail down beautifully....
Have a lovely Saturday.

I want some plant and flowers, too...bwaaaaaa....just not in the budget.
ReplyDeleteYours is all so pretty..and I LOVE Sweet Potato vines.:) Maybe one in the basket?
Vee,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my little gardens going at the cabin. Hope the ground is dry enough! I don't have real plants in Florida so my little garden is truly wonderful.
Have a great bbq
Carol
You rock!
ReplyDeleteYou have purchased so much more in plantings, than we have! All we have are the (now old) Pansies and the 2 (will be) hanging tomato plants. :-)
And you were blogging, as you wrote this post, because we all need a break. To keep our mind in working order. "Auntie" sezzzzzzzzzzzzz! -grin-
Enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day Weekend!
Gentle hugs,
~♥~
Nothing at all wrong with that picture. You will do what you have to, when you have to. For now, I think you're re-fueling and gaining insight and inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are looking lovely. Sounds like a fun Memorial Day is in your future. Enjoy!!
Your flowers are looking good. I still have a few to plant and some I don't know where to put. Why do I do these things? Enjoy your bbq and the weekend!
ReplyDeleteNothing's wrong - it's good to delegate right:)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely so far!
Leann
And yes, I visit Auntie quite regularly.
Sounds like you are keeping everyone busy, including yourself! Here is wishing you a wonderful weekend Vee...

p.s. yes, family and friends sit at the counter while I am cooking. I feel like I am on a TV cooking show :-)
The picture you've painted sounds perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are looking good. Gardening is so good for the spirit....
Happy weekend!
Hugs,
Very pretty!! Happy Memorial Day/weekend to you too.
ReplyDelete"as all get out"...love that expression...so many memories from hearing it through the years from so many of the women in my family.
ReplyDeleteLooks great...beautiful blooms...Happy Memorial Day!
We put American flags oncountless Civil War Veteran graves this morning and now my husband is out washing the car while I blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love your container garden, as I do the same in my little yard.
Enjoy your BBQ!
My motto is to do what you can when you can. If you feel pressured then that takes the fun out of it.
ReplyDeleteYou're not doing anything wrong, LOL! You're doing what I want to do (blogging), but have little time for these days! All that digging in the dirt sure does create a lot of beauty at your place!
ReplyDeleteI don't see anything wrong with that picture!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the troops as well organized as you do...
Happy weekend!
xo
Looks like you and the energizer bunny have been in a race, everything looks so beautiful, and I am so glad that spring has decided to come to your neck of the woods and stay, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sue
Sounds like a good system to me. : )
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful.
I stopped by before but blogger wouldn't let me leave a comment.
You are certainly off to a great start...keep going! The clematis is just lovely. I'm sure you'll find just the right choice for your mother's bicycle basket. Happy Memorial Day to you and yours, Vee.
ReplyDeleteI like your system. I also like sweet potato vine and Wave petunias, and this year my new favorite is dahlias.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful and splendid weekend!
Thanks for your comments and prayers....
Sounds just fine to me - after all, you need a break after all that running around and organizing. I'll bet you were soon up and on the go again!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Vee. Your place looks lovely! I have yet to get my gumption up for potted plants =)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have help! Blueberries! They're pretty in the spring and delish to eat.
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day!
Manuela
P.S. Yes I think I had a pollination problem with those zukes. This year I planted some flowers in with them and maybe that helped with brining in pollinators cause I've got zukes this year!
Oh your gardening is making ME feel bad for walking away from my little bit of work yesterday. Happy Memorial Day...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking your "seasonal" header photo...clever!
ReplyDeleteYour outside is looking amazing!!! Good job!
Absolutely nothing wrong with that picture! Smile.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday weekend.
Lots of work but worth it when it all comes into flower.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture on sidebar of Grand on bike.
I always buy too many plants and wonder where on earth I'll find room for them! But that's half the fun, right? xo
