DAYLILY'S

All of this rain we have been having has made the daylily's as spectacular as the roses this year.

And look at the size of some of them!

And different shapes.

SPECTACULAR ROSES THIS YEAR

My roses have been spectacular this year. This is an arrangement I made for our county Extension office.

Another arrangement made for an Extension luncheon.A small arrangement is sometimes all you need to brighten a certain place.

Isn't this Dr. Van Fleet just a picture perfect rose? No smell and it only blooms once a year, but so worth having. It produces so many blooms that you can cut armloads of flowers.

VISITING MS. JUDITH

Visiting at one of our Master Gardener's farm. Had to stop and pet the goats and chickens. Lots of free fertilize here!

I love goats!

I wonder if Ms. Judith put some of that great animal fertilize on these iris? Mine sure are not this pretty.

TOURING THE STRAWBERRY FIELDS

Our group went out to Reyer Farms for a tour of the strawberry fields. Brittny, one of our Master Gardeners and her husband own this farm.

We will go back when the tomatoes are ready, too.

Delicious samples and berries to ta

Even Daisy had a sample.

See those beautiful fields in the background?

PAULA'S GARDEN IN SPRING

One of our Master Gardeners called and said come out and take photos of my garden while it looks good-we all know that in Mississippi it can change in a day! Her husband built this wonderful gazebo for her Old Blush rose.

Beautiful pass-a-long Iris from a friend.

One of the hosta beds is looking nice,

I hear the garden house will be getting a new color scheme.

I see fish.

A great looking azalea.

GARDEN TOUR

After the  District Master Gardener meeting on Saturday, we toured the Welty House Gardens. This is a beautiful native Azalea. You do not see as many of them in the woods anymore, so it is a treat to see this beautiful one.

I do not know the name of this beautiful azalea, but it is spectacular.

I love this entrance to the lower gardens.

Entrance to an even lower garden. This garden is really a series of terrace gardens if you will. All planted with hardy old fashioned plants.

IS SPRING ON THE WAY

Spring is popping out all over-or is it? Everyone seems to forget we still have blackberry winter to go through-and we always have a cold snap right around Easter. And Easter is the last of April! A pink daffodil is a little different. Now is the time to start planting gladiola's-plant some every two weeks and you will have blooms practically all summer.
