Clean up In The Garden

       Good morning,  boy the rain left such a mess in the garden...  It is going to take a while to get ot all back to decent...  I fooled around yesterday and went out early this morning a bit...
       So many things staring to bloom...  I can't think of the name of these but I so love  them in all their shades of purple's so excited they are coming again.
       My Blue hydrangea...  A bunch of new leaves I kept it in a pot didn't want add more to the ground because I will be leaving this place in the future...
       Dirty little boy fairy...  Needs to be cleaned up...
       Another Hydrangea...  
       The neighbor's Asparagus fern coming through the fence it started last year so I just let it come it looks pretty...  Anything to hide that ugly cyclone fencing...
       The silly Raccoon's ruined my ground cover...  I guess they dig through it looking for bugs...  I fixed so many times. I just gave up spring is here and they will start ripping it up again...  
       

     A wall basket, that did not get hung ended up with seeds from other plants that blew in and settled in the basket and grew, so I lefted it.  And ground cover must make tiny seeds because it ended up around the basket...

         I bought this I'm not sure if its ground cover, but I think so it works like that...  It make these tiny little like pink snow ball flowers I just love them...  It does very well in shaded area...  
       Added new flowers to the baskets...  It will take a while before they look really good...
       New flowers here to lobelia...  I don't know which color though. We have to wait and see...

       My Jasmine full of blooms...  Smells so good...

       My herb basket, the Indian mint is growing strong...
       The apple mint is bigger everyday, it has a lovely aroma to it...
        New Pansy's and such...


       I love this basket all new plants inside too...
       The basket from Mama's basement...   I really like it...  I thought maybe i should clean it and paint it for inside...  Just a thought...
         A new one peeping out...
       My old bird house last winter all the little thin wood fell off and some was hanging so I brought it in and stripped it the rest of the way...  In my mind I'm thinking to mosaic it...  I have had it for so long and I like it very much...


        This, I guess strawberry planter, I also found at Mama's house Which I've had it for a while I tried growing mint in it but it didn't work well..  Lol I never tried strawberries though hi
Um, wonder why not...  So yesterday I filled it with tiny like climbing petunias...around the sides and the pansy's on the top...  Need a few more petunias...

       Pansys from last spring they re seeded theirselves... 
         My Chives gone mad...  There finally big and strong...  Ready to flower and seed...
          This is from last spring found it sad in the bargain center at the nursery, Half price...  It is a happy camper now and growing beautifully...  It grew all spring summer and threw the winter.. So I had so color still...
       I still have a ton of Camilla blooms...  In fact where the other tree is I cleaned up a huge pile of all the blooms that fell off to the ground...
       I love this hanging plant holder piece...  One time a long time ago we did a job, dad and I...  I believe the woman must have been an Asia Oriental person she had many beautiful pots small and bigger ones in different colors...  Which I got to take home...   I even have a ceramic fish planter pot...   Somewhere stolen but I still have the most of them...  So this piece and the little pot came from there...  I have two of them...
       I put the same petunias in them hoping they will flow over and give pretty color to the wall...
      Now what to do today...  I'm in a I don't know mood today...  I have a hundred things need be done...  But I no longer make myself crazy trying to do them all at once...  I have had to re clean the living room once to many times due to molding problem...  And I want it to be clean clean so it will be okay now because winter is gone...  Hoooorrraaayyy!!!!!!
         HOORAY FOR SPRING IS AT THE DOOR...  ONE MORE DAY AND YOU MUST OPEN UP AND LET HER IN, SO WE CAN DANCE ABOUT IN THE GARDEN...  LAUGHING AND SINGING AND BEING JOYOUS ONCE AGAIN...  WONDERFUL DAYS IN SIGHT...  DON'T FORGET TO OPEN THE GARDEN DOOR....    HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY...
SEE YOU SOON,  with love Janice
