Happy; happy!

Hey everyone. Checking in between visitation times. Got a call from my dad on the drive down and they have moved my mom back to ICU. She is not doing well. There is limited visitation in ICU so I can go back at 5 to see her again. She is still on the respirator and has tubes coming in and out of her everywhere. I'm really worried.

Ah, shoot, Lost! I'm so sorry to read this...Your mom continues to be on my prayer list!

We have a freeze warning.

Thank you Fran.
And ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????
Seriously, though. Are you kidding me?

Thank you Gracie. We really need them.
And congrats on the new addition.

That's not good for in-ground annuals. Do what you can.

Lucky there are only 2 inground but no good way to cover them. I have only 6 hanging pots and they have been brought in along with a couple other small pots. All bigger pots and deck rail planters have been covered with black rubbish bags. Guess I'll just hope for the best.Put a towel as extra cover over my potted begonias.

All hanging pots except 8 22" ones... unplanted stuff... in garage. (Guess I have 25 hanging
pots.) I may try to lug in the ground-level pots, but will probably just cover them. And all the
in-ground stuff.

Sigh.

New Guinea impatiens, Reiger begonia, calibrachoa, lantana, grape tomatoes, green
peppers, marigold, morning glory... blah blah blah...

 

[FranC]

My flower beds are all perennial except for the 2 annuals.

Beautiful
Sorry you've had to move them all

I am a "Perennial Killer". Almost any new perennial I plant, dies. So, I have decided to be a
"container garden" kinda guy. Easy to change-it-up every year, plus they can be moved around
DURING the season for variety. Yes, more $$$ every year... and this frost thing.

Almost dinner time already!

I went through the daylily phase. My problem with them was the maintenance of cutting
back the spent foliage to keep everything green and looking alive. Then, they ALL started
blooming TOO early in the season for me, leaving just the leaves. About 4 years ago, I
just dug them all out and threw them away. The annuals give colour all season long...
especially if you get out there are deadhead the spent blooms. One... by one... by one.
A lot of folks don't do that. But hey!... I have the time!!! I love retirement!

... and getting ready for supper here too! ...

I'm thinking just sleazeburgers tonight... with a whipped-up mac salad. I'm tired from all
the lugging and covering and spying on trash across the road.

 

[FranC]

Sounds good to me,Bear
