      Beautiful!

      If they're the same, I've always called those ones "wild"... as they grow so fast, they form huge thickets in the back.

      Its looking a little stormy here today. I did get the lawns mowed and some of the pots watered that were really needing it. I still have quite a bit of stuff to plant. I hope to get it all planted Monday and Tuesday between storms. Most of the pots are looking good. I did lose a few Sun coleus do too a drop in temps and they cant take it much below 42 some varieties are worse than others, I could stand a few filler plants but will just make do with what I have right now, I hope you all had a great weekend mine starts tomorrow. I am going in an hour late tonight as I had to work an hour overtime yesterday and they wont let us get any overtime,

      When it comes to weather I get whatever you get. Yesterday morning we got 1.25" of rain, which we really needed, and I even got in a lot more garden plant before the rain.

      Well since I had to go to work on my day off for training and it was raining I went plant shopping. I need to stay the hell home, I did get a hibiscus that I used to have years ago but gave away, I got a taro and a couple more banana plants and 3 Oleanders. I got some odd and ends too,

      I like your African Mask plant. Mine is inside and at this time only has one leaf on it. I think I will put it outside and see what happens.

      Thanks Paula. I have been working in the yard since I got up. I have mudded in and planted 6 more container gardens, I have also planted all of my cannas that have been setting around needing in the ground, I got my perennials all planted too. I still have almost 7 flats of annuals to plant. They wont get done today the ground is just too wet. I am tired too. I need to wash clothes my drawers are scattered all over the house.

      Well I have been outside working on this beautiful morning. I have been neglecting the flower beds on the stream and this year I am planting vinca in them to see if it will grow and bloom there, I am already sweating like a pig. I have to go to work today so I can not get overly tired. I am going to try and clean around the stock tanks tomorrow and maybe do something with what tropical Lilies I have. I did not buy any at all this year. I just cant seem to get everything done. I do have wild Black Prince coming up in two or three of the tanks and some in the lily pond so I know I will have plenty of blue blooms, I also have a ton of them in small pots too. Just so much too do and so little time off.

      I got up pretty early, the dogs fault not mine. I have been out cutting down trumpet vines around the stock tanks, its so weedy out there, I really need a bunch of new pots for out in front of them mine are falling apart. I got them at Sams club a few years ago and its like they are almost made of some sort of plaster and they are flaking apart,. I just came back in to get something to eat and take some Advair and Albuterol for my asthma I am gasping for air so need to settle for a few before I get back after it. So much to do so little time. I also need to do something with my tropical water lilies. All of these weeds and brush are on the DARK SIDE the places you dont see in my pictures,

      Today I am building a flower bed along the driveway.

      You get so much done, it really makes me fill lazy!

      Apparently you have never seen me. I got both yards mowed almost fell when I got off the mower. Took a while to straighten up after mowing the bad parts in the front yards, The Gas Company is supposed to be here tomorrow to fix both yards and driveways. I am not holding my breath, I am about to take the second shower of the day and then eat a bite and finish planting the vinca bed.
