The Flowers are Blooming

The flowers are blooming! The angel trumpet plant is starting to come to a full bloom. I love the pink color.


The hisbiscus are also so colorful. I have several hisbicus trees in pots. I did not think they would make it being in pots, but they did. Lowe's had such a great sale last year that we were able to get four of these trees at $6.00 each.






I did some weeding again in the garden today, however, I still need to go out tomorrow and do some more. Like I said before, a never ending job. The lettuce is starting to grow. This is my first attempt at growing lettuce. It looks so cute (is there such a thing as cute lettuce? Well, mine is cute anyway.) I think the birds are getting to some of our sprouts as we have bare spots here and there in the rows of squash, beans and corn. I think I will need to make a scarecrow or something to keep those darn blackbirds out of the garden. Maybe my hubby will stand guard and shoo them away, Nottttttttt! he he!
Scarecrow to the rescue!
