some rainy weather makes me wish for Spring




Category: Kratz7's Blog | Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 11:25 am

I know it's only January, but I'm still wishing for Spring. When we can all get out to the gardens and start digging, tilling and getting the ground ready for planting. I have been spending time getting seeds ready for that great time of year when I get to plant alot of cool seeds that will hopefully attract more butterflies. I think they are one of the most beautiful critters
I can only look at photos from past gardens to decide how I want to do things this Spring.


I've decided to plant alot more love lies bleeding, not that it will attract butterflies, but it's beautiful and fascinating. The butterflies do enjoy bee balm though.


Cosmos tend to take up alot of garden real estate but they sure are pretty....I'll need to plant them in a different space this year.


And the moon flowers are really cool.....

Purple Datura is another cool plant that I found to do well in our composted soil garden......they get much taller there, than in regular soil.



have a great day and I hope you enjoy the photos
