Hay hay,
I owe a big thanx to Ramona!!! THANXXXXXXXXXXXxxx for the heads up on Ellen's Nursery in Crystal Springs, LOVE THE PLACE!! I did get two of the Guava plants, the teeny one was on ebay, lets see if it catches up to the other two. I was afraid I wouldn't make it to Ellen's so i went ahead and bid on the teeny one. SHOULD HAVE WAITED, but my middle name is not patience. I still have cleanup to do, but they are in the ground! and a nice rain blew through so, maybe off to a good start hiding the NEW fence and the Neighbors! Ellen was soooooooooo nice , she was out of the Banana Shrub and the Black elephant ears, but might have them in a couple weeks, if i can make it back out.
ALSO , I did get a couple of the Lavender Japanese Azaleas at the feed store. OHHHHH, and they had Baby ORANGE CHICKENS< no i did not buy them and I don't exactly agree with the practice of dieing chickens for pets. BUT they were cute!!
seeya, WISH me luck on the the growth of the Pineapple Guava,
PS, Ellen said tell Ramona hello, and that she made jelly with her Guava!
LM
the best is yet to come!!
OK, I did get the pictures a bit out of order, the bottom picture is the wild thing i dug up and planted in the yard, snaky things that like to look at each other? the top picture after they go to seed and die off for the summer. the Plant bottom acutally looks like corn. it has a bulb. Care to guess what it is??? wild onion,garlic , dunno!
Please excuse the weeds, still a losing battle at times, here we have my Texas Hyacinth,, still not blooming, sure do need to collect the seed pods from this particular plant, lots of sentimental value, also gotta love those elephant ears, I just LOVE them,,,, there are also a few (cant remember the name) tiny pretty type flowers down amongst the ever invasive weeds, MUST do better, I really must .
hay People,,, oh yes, i'm still identfying myself too, but not at this post! LOL,,, A freind sent these fruits (?) to me, I'm not up on my fruits, so maybe someone can help? The green one is a beginner baby, the right is ripe? It apparently grows on a vine, and the ripe one is only 2 to 2 1/2 inches , looks like mini melons. I have not cut it open, just hate to do that , but i must to save some seeds I suppose. I have been told it is full of seeds, My friend says they sprouted up from a load of manure they had delivered for there garden spot. HELPPPP, its a very interesting bit of fruit!!
hay , well here you have it, the Hibiscus that did make it thru last winter, I had my doubts and it didn't stay pretty for long, it looks really ick these days, Oh and the horse has a habit of changing colors fairly regular. While ORANGE is my fav, I think the Ballerina Pink before was kind of a neat color. THis patch is one of the gee, I'll just put it here for now till I decide where it needs to Live???????? I dug up a few of this and that, added a couple Hosta, in the back ground is some odd plants called Strawberry Bush, not for people consumption, but I think eventually the birds will like them, SOMEthing odd i found on Ebay but Native to the SOuth???? I'll have to get a close up of them another day. Poor Hibiscus, this was a post about them??? what happened???
