This being Garden Bloggers Bloom day I am writing a post of my blooms I found on my way to the chicken house this morning, no matter how bedraggled and ratty looking.
A rose I have in a pot under the back deck. The rose is spent and I need to trim it off but the plant is not even dormant yet, unusual for this time of year.
We had a frosty 28 degrees here this morning, and the violas are curling up a bit, I would too.
Thankfully they will spring back up and be bright and cheerful again at the first hint of warmth!
In the greenhouse things are status quo, this tub of baby geraniums I started from seed needs to be potted up into individual pots and placed in a more insulated spot, like my studio or in the house, I should get to that before the real cold hits or they may well be toast! Since geraniums at the nursery run about $4 a pop in 4 inch pots I figure there is at least $40 worth in this little tub, well worth protecting!
Here is some butterfly bush seedlings, they will do fine in the cold, I think. Maybe I should bring them in as well. It wouldn’t hurt.
this black eyed Susie is a one tough cookie, it is trying to put on new flowers.
And this rose cutting start is putting on new growth as well.
The succulents on my back deck are doing great, I made sure to get hardy varieties and they sure are!
After a took a few shots this morning my DSLR camera DIED! Or at least it refuses to work. I still have my point and shoot I can make do with but it is just not the same.
I am not going to panic, just research online what it may be. I use this camera just about daily and was just now learning to use it better and to have it go belly up is just a bit overwhelming.
I do wish to upgrade and have my sights set on the one I would like to get but I am not able to lay out that kind of blunt yet.
Oh well it will work out one way or another. My hubby and I are fighting a cold this day, it is a nasty one so we will just take it easy, drink hot herb tea and let our bodies combat it.
