A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat What's new in your garden?

Been working in my courtyard lately. Each spring I like to give a new look to both back and front courtyards, preferbly the back courtyard since I can see it thru my french doors and, I'm out there enjoying it as often as I can! :) I've added a number of things, changed a few things around.

I've added several hanging pots to my garden this year. Two new hanging pots are filled with petunias and the other is a new type of trailing pink vinca. Also trellised my bleeding heart.

Added a potted Asiastic lily with Hypoestes to the bottom of pot.

Pics will follow soon when I am feeling a little better.

What's new in your garden?

I have a bare yard to work with this year cuz we're moving, let's hope removing turf isn't that back breaking cuz I'm all alone to do it

No "outside garden" to speak of yet, but I have lots of seedlings growing in my house and almost ready to be transplanted into larger pots bound for the greenhouse.
My hubby needs to put a new roof on my greenhouse and I'm also waiting for warmer weather. Sure hope to see it soon, for my seedlings are growing fast and need more room.

Have most of my veggie garden in and it's all up (still need to get green beans and okra in though). Cleaned up all the flowerbeds and been adding new flowers here and there and lots of them are blooming. Also put in some new flowering shrubs and several more trees. Still have a whole new flowerbed to tackle which will involve a lot of work--sure glad I enjoy doing this stuff, lol. Hey, kenny, good luck on creating your new gardens. Hope they all do real good for you. If you need some plants to put in, I'll post a list of what I have to see if there's anything you might want.

kenny,

When is moving day?
Your leaving the lovely Nunnery behind with all you plants..
Who is going to tend that?

Hope your new house can hold lotza nice posies.

Hi Kenny,
Sorry your garden is bare. :teer: But I'm sure wherever you are moving, your new garden will be bigger and better than ever. Are you moving close by?

Rosepetal, hello,
Hope you get that warm weather you so deserve. What seeds have you planted so far?

MLN,
Sounds like you do have alot of work/fun ahead. What new flowers have you added to your garden?

Everyone, share with us what's new in your garden!

i got a bunch of new willys for my garden

plant wise pink p-grass,brugs and malva!!

Well new to the garden this year are the Egyptian Walking Onions and the Asters if they come up lol. So far they have been planted for 5 weeks and I'm not seeing a thing. Well except some miss placed moss roses lol. I didn't have them this year so it will be nice to have them back.

This year should be the year the blackberry lilies and the columbine I planted last year should bloom so I'm looking forward to that. The columbine were the ones that Bill sent me for donating to the run/walk last year. They are mixed so I don't know what colors or whether they will be doubles or not yet. I'm excited and looking forward to finding out.

Also this is the year the nodding onions should bloom. I'm looking forward to that too.

And I just found my April Cross Japanese White Radishes so they are going in the garden this year. I love White Radishes.

Woohoo, I got out there and got them planted. I'm breathing like a blown race horse. And boy howdy was it cold. My fingers feel like ice.

Where's the hot chocolate?

o cant forget all the new seeds i got from the seed swaps!!
tons of new plants to try out this year!
i also orderd the white feather hosta,and mouse plant, they havent come in yet, the pink p-grass has been shiped!!! just waiting for em to get here, and the cold to go away so i can plant outside :)

floweringchild, I've planted lots of flowers and 3 kinds of peppers, tomatoes, basil, borage, ornamental cabbage, I started geraniums from seed this year too and every seed came up, they're growing really well. Once I get in the greenhouse, I'll be starting a lot more veggies for the garden.

I just have to see these plants white feather hosta,mouse plant, and the pink p-grass. Please don't forget to post pictures of these. I'm sure I'll be hinting around for root divisions in a couple of years. They sound fantastic.

me too tk. especially the mouse plant!

lol@Jiffymouse, yep you definitely have to have a mouse plant. It just isn't right that you don't have one.

jiffy!

patty if you go to plants and flowers fourm theirs a hole topic on them, also called a angels trumpet, not a vine but a bush :)

sibyl,
Please, please, can we see your Willys? I will need to refer to my see catalogs to see what pink p-grass looks like. I do have an idea though. We will wait to see all of your pics please? Mouse plant? Wow, Jiffy needs that one for sure

tk,
Sounds great, and lots of edibles ah? Hope you thaw soon.

Hey Penny
Sorry about the frost. When do you think you'll feel a little warmth?

Rosepetal
Sounds great! That is really good all of your geranium seeds sprouted. You must have some patience there huh?

This is great I can read what's new in everyone's garden. It allows for ideas as well as learning about new plants and flowers!

What's new in your garden? Keep um comin' :wink:

you can see all my willys in my photobucket

pink p grass
MOUSEPLANT

Nice collection of Willys sibyl.

Well yesterday, I had to have a pink Hibiscus tree with entwined (ph) bark that I saw at Sam's store. I hauled it to the back courtyard and will have help Friday with transferring it to another pot. The asiatic lily sort of bit the dust shall we say so I think I'll use that pot for transferring. Well, actually the wind swept the blooms off. Guess I'll plant them in side garden. Wondering if they will re-bloom this season?

Got my Italian fountain delivered last week. I'm not finished with the under area but when I do, you'll be sure to show pics! I do love the fountain!

What's new in your garden?

Wow CHristy If your Willys and My willys got together what a Huge party that would be!!! LOLOLOL


Stephanie Ohhhh I can't wait to see your fountain!!!!

:mad:

Whats new in my garden.

Try snow.

Dodge - you do not still have snow do you!? You poor thing! It hasn't snowed for a while right - just snow that hasn't melted. right?

Boy you said it...... snow... snow ...snow....coming down really heavy and wet.

Sure hope my greenhouse heater can keep up with this weather.

diane! we could have a huge party with all the willys! i got more today ! the ceramic shop finaly got done with em, alls they need is painted!

i got a card from michigan bulb, the mouse plant is no longer in stock! i wont be getting one! ill keep my eyes out for em though, they got to be sold somewere else.

we just missed the snow! cant wait til spring is spring! by then it just might be summer!

Yes .......snow did melt today, just a spot here and there..Almost 50 now and might go to 70 , next week.

This is very unusual for us.. FIrst of March is what the end usually was...

What Global Warming?????

I am going out an plant lily bulbs.. I inherited some yesterday from my sister..

Any sign of yours yet? My tulips mostly froze.

whoo hoo! found em mouse plant now alls i gotta do is order em

Christy, those mouse plants are cool. I can now see why they are named such. Did you order of yet?

I haven't decided what to spread beneath my new fountain so I thought I would show you in hopes of ideas from my garden friends!




I thought about mulch but I didn't want Panther(neighborhood cat who is here quite a bit) to think he now has a permanent litter box. and of course if he did and used it, I don't want the smell when I am around the fountain. Thought about lava rocks but I've only seen them in red (not the color scheme I was looking for). Okay, maybe I am anal. May use white marble rocks, or large gravel to cover the obscure cement I had poured that the fountain is sitting on for support. What do you think?

Okay, what's new in your garden?

Gosh floweringchild, that area is so peaceful looking.

:wink: :wink:

That's what we all need...............

In the veggie garden I have Vidalia onions that are new, and I am thinking of what else to add. Perhpas some type of herb. I am looking to add a crepe myrtle, 2 Lavendar Pentas & something else to the back flower bed in a few weeks. I have not ever heard of a "Mouse Plant". It has me curious.

Floweringchild--What about Alabama Sunset Rock?. It is a Multi Colored smooth shaped bagged rock. That is what I have in the back of my house (Husband calls it my patio area) I really like it as it doesn't tie you down to a specific color scheme.

Sheri, Yeah, that's what I strive for, peace, particularly in my gardens! My new fountain has helped tremendously to do that. Thanks

Hey Barb,
Hope you find peace and serenity in your garden!

JunieGirl, Wow, Vidalia onions. I love those! Wish you success! Hmmm, Alabama Sunset rocks, will need to check that out and see if they are sold around here. Thanks!

What's new in your garden?

,

Gotcha..............

My new 50 strawberries are planted.. Gurney just sent me 50 more ....

Stephanie Firt thing I thought when I saw your fountain was white marble.

That fountain is beautiful! Very nice!

White Marble????????????

You must be on a bible trip......The women was told not to look back or she would turn to marble.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

We better check if all our players are her ?Or are we turning into fountains?

It was a pillar of salt, not marble that Lot's wife was turned into for looking back.

Are you close to a place to get small river rock?

I dont have to look for river rock's their all in my head.. .

Yaah......you got it correct..Lots wife.......Maybe I better join you in the bible class....
I got one part right.........

No we dont have river rock?????????/Why do you ask?

I meant 'river rocks' for Stephanies fountain.

I don't do bible classes, I just remember it from DD's sunday school.
I remember odd info, but yet I forget to pick up milk at the store.
