Seedlings

The seed pack is not here but I think it's a blue trailing lobelia.

Vinca growing slow.

A type of rudabeckia.

Lambs Ear

Stretched coleus. Will put them the stem deep in the soil when I plant them.

Only a few begonia.

Stock needs to be up potted, soon.

Tomatoes and lettuce needs to be repotted into separate containers.

Coleus and 1 marigold seedling.

The leggy ones are snapdragons.

Pansies and 1 kong coleus.

Vinca again.

Marigolds are the tall ones and I have to remember what the other 2 types of seeds are in this container. Maybe when they get their true leaves.

Impatiens

Second planting of marigolds. The first only yielded 2 seedlings.

I like planting different types of seeds in 1 tray. Next season I'll buy more. When I went to get more they were sold out.

I think snap dragons are the 3rd seedling in this tray.

Late starting peppers. Still to start, zinnias and bringing the overwintered geraniums, begonias, and ornamental sweet potatoes out of the basement. Can't wait to get into the yard. I can really wait but I'll go out next week and put some of the pansies in containers. It'll be nice to see them when I look out my window.

On the Porch

 

Until the weather is more consistent, I can enjoy what's happening on the porch. 

Mulch for the yard.

Bought a hyacinth since mine didn't do well this season. Smells wonderful in the living room.

The yellow tulips smell so sweet.

Always love this color.

The view from my daughter window at her place.

In Philly

Eighty three degrees yesterday and planting pansies outdoors. Today, rain, snow showers, and over a 40 degree temperature drop. Not spring yet. When it arrives next week, it'll still be cold. It was nice while it lasted. Going down to the 20's tonight. The pansies will be fine. Enjoying my roses. No occasion. Celebrating and treating myself with love always.

 

Beautiful Sunset

 

Almost Spring

Happy March. Some spring color for the porch until the bulbs emerge.

From the second hand store.

Soon to emerge.

Primrose

Hope the hyacinths planted in soil do better than the ones forced indoors this winter. They didn't do good at all.

Winter is not over. Still getting snow.

Will they make it?

From the produce market.

From the Philadelphia Flower Show.

Some of my seedlings. Vina. Plant 3 packs and this is what survived. Very disappointed.

Lettuce, container tomatoes except sun gold, chives and sage.

Only 1 dichondra seedling of 10 seeds sown.

It took a while but the lambs ear has started to germinate.

A few chocolate mint coleus and a few dragon wing begonias.

Pansies and violas.

Snap dragons in the back and stock in the front.

Marigolds have done poorly with only 3 seeds germination. I'll sow some more.

Didn't sow these. May wait until next season.

Direct sown in a container outdoors.

The next few bulbs are from Home Depot. Healthy and less expensive than at the Philadelphia Flower Show on Sunday. Also healthy and good sizes.

A few pictures from the flower show. Sorry for the poor quality. Hard to take anything with so many people on opening day.

Still to sow.

Time to start cleaning up the garden soon and digging in the soil. Have a wonderful gardening season.
