It FEELS like Spring.
The weather has been "Spring-y"
due to the cooler temps

ReplyDeleteHi Catmint! I'm sorry I've been remiss in visiting (visiting everyone!). Thank you for your sweet comments. I must see what's happening in Australia these days! :-)
ReplyDeleteRosemary, That's what happens down here in "the states." We're ahead, but because of the weather, we've been Way Ahead this year. You, too??
Oh, Darla! You'll love making hypertufa. I'm in such a mood to make more containers! :-)
So many great looking plants for tyou this spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of spring bloomers. I have many of these and they're just starting to open the last few days.... :)
ReplyDeleteYou may sometimes wish you had more sun, but I wish we had more shade for all those wonderful plants you have there. I have been experimenting with putting some shade plants on the east side of the house, where they are protected from the hot afternoon sun. I still have some sun lovers, too, so, it's a bit of a hodge podge, but that's nothing new for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying spring.
