My Garden Today.

After a lot of rain for the past week,
and temperatures in the 50's and 40's,
today was a glorious day.
Sunny, warm - in the 70's.
Dixie and Glowria and I took our long walk - 5 + miles.
I felt like I had accomplished something.
Then I got back home and planted the perennials I'd bought at WalMart a week or so ago.





Here are my red petunias, in full glory, which actually over-wintered.
My purple verbena is in the background.
And I planted the yellow marigolds about a month ago.




Here are my very first roses of the season.


My yellow tulips.

This lovely mound of red petunias lasted over the winter season.
We had a very mild winter this year.
Aren't they lovely?

My beautiful verbena.


Dianthus with purple salvia in the background.

My purple verbena a'blooming, with my Foxglove (Digitalis) behind it.
Oh, just wait till that blooms.
It's bee-yoo-tee-full.


Red Pee-toon-ies, purple verbena, and yellow marigolds.




Pink Dianthus in the foreground.
Purple Erysimum in the background.


Pretty yellow tulips.















My funky tulip in the backyard.








Hope you enjoyed the tour of my garden.
More to come.
