Looking forward to your pictures:)

Maybe you did get a mix of varieties. They sure don’t look the same.

I think they transplant easy... I bet you could move them nearly any time. The ones at the beach house grow like weeds, it’d be hard to kill ‘em. :~)

We’re back and having a snack, then going to go plant my new planter :~)

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - here's my flower pictures...

This is the hanging pot out by the gate... it's coming along, they were just started a few weeks ago... I really like the striped petunias.

Here's the new manger planter.... The three Petunias in the middle and the Verbena on the front corners should grow long and trail over, I hope...

If Cyn doesn't eat them ;~)

Here's my impatiens that are in the rockery by the front walk... They've also only been in the ground a few weeks, and they got molested by a dog and broken a few nights ago, but at any rate, they aren't doing much yet.

Great pictures of your ride and your yard. If I recall, Shasta daisies are white so if the buds are white they are Shastas. I am pretty sure you can transplant just about any time, also divide the clumps.

[Duchess47]

Pretty flowers - they look temptingly near Cyn :) No flowers here this year except the iris which are already in. All my effort (such as it is) is going to vegetables.

[Duchess47]

I didn’t get a chance to look at the video today at work, I’ll look at it tomorrow :)

[HairOfTheDog]

When they’ve been in the yard grazing, they’ve never been interested in the flowers before, so I don’t ~think~ they’re at risk.

[Duchess47]

:) Before they were there for the taking, now they are forbidden fruit :)

[HairOfTheDog]

We’ll see. ;~) I hope they don’t... the manger looks good there, and I don’t have a real good way of getting a hotwire there.

[Duchess47]

Tell Cyn you’ll be most unhappy if she nibbles on your flowers :) Even is she does take a bite, I don’t think she’ll eat them all - just check them out because they are new.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Oh, very pretty, I like the wooden box:), and the colors of the petunias in the basket:)

My impatiens is really coming on now that we have had a break from the rain and have had some sunshine.

'Mornin! Becky, your garden and yard look really nice. I've never grown daisies so I can't help ya there.

Hair, your planters look great. I love petunias. I'm with Duchess in thinking that the manger planter might be a little too much of an easy target for Cyn. I know if those were on MY fence and Bob could reach them, he'd have them jerked up and on the ground by the time I got turned around good. He wouldn't eat 'em, he'd just mess with them.

[FrogInABlender]

Becky, you were wondering how Bob's scar was looking yesterday so I took some pics.

Here's what we started with, just to refresh your memory...

And here's what it looks like now...

[MissTargets]

Good Morning.

Lots of pretty flower pictures. Hair, I really like the planter. I think it is cool to plant things in nontraditional containers.

Cool today, good to do some yard work also. Lost connection last night again. This is really getting old. No one can come until Saturday either.

[AnAmericanMother]

Wow, that's looking great.

Nice smooth new skin too, not too granular.

Ya done good!!!!!

[FrogInABlender]

Thanks! It’s got a bit of a knot on the bone, right under the scar that you can see in the side view, but it doesn’t look TOO bad. I’d’ve never believed that it would’ve healed up this good when I first saw it 2 years ago. He lost an extensor tendon on the front of his knee too and had a little bit of a problem elevating his toe for a little while but he doesn’t have any problem with that now. The other tendon’s must’ve compensated for it, or it grew back or something. But what ever it was, it seems like a miracle.

[CindyDawg]

It just looks like he has a white spot:’) Good job.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, overnight and after being late for breakfast, they haven’t touched them yet ;~)

[HairOfTheDog]

That was such a nasty cut, it healed up good. I’m not surprised it came back white.

[FrogInABlender]

...overnight and after being late for breakfast, they haven’t touched them yet ;~)...

Well I'm glad because it's such a nice planter. Cyn apparently has more self control than Bob.
