It doesn't look too good this year-one of the first I purchased. <br /><br />Put some epsom salts around my tomatoes and the two Knockout roses that are in that bed this morning and also did some weeding and spread some mulch. My back told me it was time to quit and I also needed to get cleaned up as I am getting a haircut later. <br /><br />Take care and hope your hip is better.Bev J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075881108883630511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-64270878361027703952011-05-18T09:50:22.120-05:002011-05-18T09:50:22.120-05:00Looooove that clematis and those double roses! Go...Looooove that clematis and those double roses! Good idea about the newspaper and hay flakes. I will probably do some of that this fall/winter.<br /><br />It has rained all morning here and since we'd had several clear days in a row, it's not a bad thing. But more coming, from what I understand, so I'll be complaining about it before long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-75744454289836581092011-05-18T07:59:24.151-05:002011-05-18T07:59:24.151-05:00The flower beds are struttin' their stuff with...The flower beds are struttin' their stuff with all this rain, more on the way for us... ohhhh! I need some sunshine, have moss on me feet! Just a few things planted here too, wet ground and cold nights sure put a crimp on gardening. Yesterday, I put up "invisible fencing" to keep out the deer. I read on a gardening site to buy the heavy fishing line and tie it about 3-4 level around the perimeter of the property. We will see it that works. They mostly come up through the woods on the south and west sides but they may decide to just come in the driveway and then this idea is shot!Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-89167528128347387412011-05-17T19:50:23.710-05:002011-05-17T19:50:23.710-05:00Your gardens looks devine.

I have plastic up around the tomatoes, I did lose some, and I hope that I can keep my seedlings going with the light until this weather straightens out. I have lost a few seedlings of vegetables.<br />I mowed the front yesterday, and sprayed the weeds. I hate to use spray, but around where I live, no one takes care of anything and the yards except mine have weeds galore, and the house neighbors gripe, which I don't blame them.<br />Have a great week.denimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-43115843252682248552011-05-17T16:30:54.567-05:002011-05-17T16:30:54.567-05:00At least it looks like you've got some SUNshin...At least it looks like you've got some SUNshine. Here it's dark and drear and cold and rainy. And the weather is whack! All the clouds and rains are coming from the East and looks like someone is running the radar BACKwards on TV! <br /><br />That path to the smokehouse really looks inviting. Wish I could stroll down that way... :-D Hey - I'll take up your offer of rose cuttings if you have any success. I could use some natural 'barb wire' back by the golf course! ;-DKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-48797498828187458182011-05-17T15:12:02.434-05:002011-05-17T15:12:02.434-05:00The purple flower in the top picture is beautiful ...The purple flower in the top picture is beautiful I hope to plant a couple of clematic vines if the weather ever warms up.
