LOOK AT THIS!

- Lo: 46° F
- Hi: 83° F
Almost a record high! Woohoo!
As you know, I’m a fair-weather gardener. I like the temperature to be not too hot and not too cold when I’m out in the world of dirt and blooms. (And sticks and dead things.) I’m thinking today is The Day to get out and get my hands dirty!
Don’t you love flowers and gardens and things that make our lives more beautiful? (These are Columbine.) Don’t you hate weeds and grass and everything that grows where it’s not supposed to?
I’m getting excited. Do I work in the garden or head for the poor, neglected, abused pond?
I bought new pots last summer so at least some of my deck containers will match this year. And they aren’t plastic!
And the new containers are blue!
I like blue. (Could you tell?)
So . . . I think I might play hooky from work this afternoon and see how warm it really does get. (And how dirty I can get.)
How about you?
It seems like that a lot of blue flowers like we like do not like the summer Okla heat. We should probably go for blue petunias.
I’m not a big petunia fan, Bea. I’ve found a few others that will survive if I water them. Now if I can just remember what they are . . .
My poor daffs came up and bloomed, then got caught in the cold nights. They’re soooo confused!
Jackie,
You know, we might even have snow before winter is finished with us.
We need early blooming flowers called, You Know You’re From Oklahoma If . . . you can go from hot to cold and back again and survive!
