Fertilizer Friday - Happy Spring




Good Morning Blogspot World! Hope everyone is doing spiffy today. It's that time again when we all get together for Fertilizer Friday. Click on the title and head on over to Tootsie Time and check out what Tootsie is up to and all of the other bloggers participating in Fertilizer Friday.


Again I didn't load in proper order. Check out my new veggie garden spot. The fellow I hired to tille the garden just showed up on Tue and said just pay me when you can. Such a nice old man and very polite. So you can imagine how much work I have to do to remove as much grass as I can. The soil here is very dark and rich.



The yellows have it in my yard so far this year. Ya'll I have shared most of these with you already but I tried really hard to take a different angle hoping to spice it up. LOL




The snapdragon purchase in Jan for $1.50 was a great purchase as you can tell.






This little pansy is so bright you can't get a good picture. It's like looking at the sun.



Yellow Viola's.




I spent much of my time last weekend putting down 15 packs of seeds.



Check out the new lettuce I planted last weekend. They come up 4 days after planting and now they are about an inch high and...



The Cosmos I paid .20 for sprung up 3 days after planting and now is at least 2" high.




I cannot believe how well the Russell Strain Lupines from Hometown Seeds is doing. They look so happy. There at least 16 little plants.





I have 2 plants of the 8 ordered from Springhill Nursery still alive. This is the purple hydrangea. It seems to be coming along nicely. It should give me some blooms this year. Didn't get any last year.



The pear tree has blossomed out nicely. Hoping I have some edible pears this year. Buddy sure liked them last year. Did I tell you the story about the pear tree last year? Every time I took Buddy out in the back to do his business he would grab him a pear and take inside and eat it. Later in the year when not as many pears would be laying on the ground due to all of the other animals I would shake the tree a little and he'd get his little treat. For 2 days in a row when I shook the tree - Buddy found a little baby bird. After 2 days I figured out what had happened and oh I felt so bad. I killed all of the little babies. God forgive me.



The peach tree is beginning to lose the petals and is taking on the prettiest shade of green. I just love this time of year.



Wondering how long it takes broccoli to make - anyone know? They are doing beautiful and so is the lettuce.



I may have a salad this week.



The blueberry bush is budding out nicely. I hate that I'm not suppose to eat these. The seeds aren't good for me.







We are expecting a very nice weekend with hi's around 70 and lows around 50. Aaaahh finally.




Happy Spring everyone.

Question?

I have a question - the seed starter trays that are made of thick cardboard - can you plant each little cell directly into the ground after removing the bottom part of the cardboard?

I want to use this tray. It has 50 cells for seeds but if I have to empty each cell that isn't going to work.

The rain that is coming is expected to be rough this afternoon and evening with possiblity of 4" of rain and hail and possible tornados. The threat of tornados don't scare me but the rain washing away the seedlings worries me. Am I crazy or what.

Have a great day and hopefully you are experiencing nice weather.
