Spring is on it’s way! Mother Nature is already hard at work creating her garden.
This past year all of you have shared some great gardening tips and information.
I have enjoyed reading, learning, and even weeding alongside of you! I am thinking of going with flowers in pots this year.

How about you? What are you thinking and planning. Do you have a picture to share? Maybe you want to simply pull up a chair and enjoy the arrival of Spring.

Here's my newest otter lant orange pansy
@rosemarya This year I plan to sit on the patio chair and watch everything grow.
@rosemarya Hi! I've been missing from Mayo Clinic Connect for a while. Bad health lately.
Proud to say I've repotted one of my struggling little orchids, and have two more to go. Thanks to info from members here, I got orchid potting soil and specific orchid pots from Amazon, which made my task so much easier. Doing my little babies one at a time, since my stamina is not great this week.
Warm hello to all my mates! Laurie
@rosemarya I think I will be sitting most of the gardening out this year. My health issues are kinda demanding it. I can sit on the side porch across the street and watch my bestie bust her butt in her garden, and she does a great job! I will say the weeds popping up between my rocks are cheering on my inability to get to them! Would love to hire a youngster to help pull weeds and straighten up, but they don't seem to want to work ;((
Daffodils, hyacinth, primroses have all bloomed out so that is nice. Hmmm, planning of next year....

@rosemarya I cut my Mexican petunias back about six weeks ago and they are currently blooming a beautiful deep purple. Then red and gold lantana were all trimmed a few weeks ago and are sprouting new growth and should be blooming in a few weeks which will last into October. The purple lantana survive winter much more easily and so they are already in full bloom. We have a variety of cacti that are forming blooms which are quite stunning with deep oranges, yellows and reds but generally last for only a day or two. Our little johns are ready to burst as well as the border bottle brush bushes. There are probably 10 other plants all in various stages of early blooming and getting ready to burst.. As for annuals we have had geraniums blooming since December and I am about to plant some vinca (sort of an annual periwinkle) around our potted sago palms . They will mound a bit and then trail down the sides of the pots as the sago palm forces them away from totally mounding. By summer's end it will look like a solid pot of flowers holding a palm in their midst.
I like my plants and I like puttering around them even better.
Best always,
s!

The plumber just left, beautiful day to fix our sewer pipe! The great news is that the sidewalk must come out. I lost a daffodil garden to the work, but plumbing is essential!
