A look at how the other flowerbeds are shaping up this year

Finally an end to the drought! Makes them look truly lush!

Fit to burst and soon to be a riot of colour ..lovely.

Thanks so much for you compliment Bonkers ! Hope all is going well in your garden as well, haven't seen you add any pictures lately.

Well some lovely lady sent me some seeds and they ve all germinated all over the garden ..just waiting for the first flower then watch out it could even rival yours .Might even look vaguely familiar to you ...to be honest spending so much time in other peoples gardens been neglecting my own.

lovely to hear from you ..regards to Roger looking forward to my next sports update !

Well., I'm sure that lady thought you were a perfect candidate for her seeds, and would take excellent care of them, and that you deserved far more than she could afford to send.... Can't wait to see them grow myself, I know she has to be thrilled about getting to see them growing thousands of miles away, and very proud of you as well . (wink, wink).
Roger is so busy racing online now with other men on the internet, I'll be lucky to get a word out of him besides, "what's for supper", and "goodnight dear"...lol

The Poppies and Aquilegia growing well we re only in our second year here so will collect seeds from ours ..or perhaps yours lol and send them back !

Racing online with other men ..sounds vaguely rude doesnt it ? I m sure theres a very simple explanation .

You should see him Bonkers, it's a hilarious sight to see. He sits in front of the TV with a steering wheel sitting on a little dinner tray table, he even has gas and brake petal equipment set-up on the floor, so he can feel like he's really racing......hahaha. He should see the body english he uses when driving through the turns, I bust a gut every time I pop my head in the room to watch him. All I can say is 'Ah bless'... how cute...., he thinks he's a professional race car driver now....lol

Thats a whole lot better than some of the images I was getting lol

Certainly sounds safer than being out on the racetrack with them ! Guess it must be off season for the real stuff a man has to keep his hand in you know ..

I can just imagine what was going through you head... ! lol. Yes , he has to stay in the thick of things....,has to be a man thing....ugh !!!

The rain sure has helped hasn't it... Problem is that it's still raining with no end in sight here. Enough already :) The weeds are growing six inches a day !

I'm getting close to feeling the same way Mike, I think I have about a dozen plants out there now that are on the brink of destruction due to too much rain...:-( But man.., I love not having to mess with those darn water hoses...Too bad we can't have our cake and eat it too once in a while...lol

I say bring on the rain!... too bad we couldn't package some and ship it to SanDiego for our friends out there who are on water rationing! It gets better and better Jerrie, your green thumb is wonderful...second only to your good heart! Regarding your significant other: Is it NASCAR or Formula One? One consolation, He's at home and even if he wipes out he'll never need to go to the hospital!!! Right?

It's Nascar Lori, and that's my sentiments to a tee ! If that's what floats his boat, I say go for it. I know he's happy playing it and more importantly, will always remain in one piece ...lol
