New Garden group.

Just joined. Great idea!

Awesome. Maybe y'all can teach me how to grow things in sand.

I'm in. Gardening is my middle name.

Mermaid Gardening ...........?

Yeah, I grow things like sea oats...

I want to grow some of these........aren't they funky

Easier to pack and ship in boxes. They don't roll around.

Looks like they were grown in watermelon bondage! When I was a baby a plank and a brick were put on my head and I was rotated. As I grew, my head took shape like one of those cool melons in the pic. It's like looking in a mirror.

Sometimes, Gordy, you really freak me out but I will still ya.

Yea!! I love houseplants!!!

Good. Then you can help me. My ex used to tell me every time I came in the door with one, "Oh, I see you brought a new victim home."

You've heard of a green thumb? I have the antithesis of that -- all of my plants look like heck, and daughter tries to get me to throw them out. But I've become fond of them, kinda like how I feel about Keith Richards -- I want him to stay around and keep playing music no matter how bad he looks.

Once I had two large topiaries that could be resurrected by someone good with plants. I put them out on the street with a sign that said, "Free for anyone who will give them a good home -- I obviously haven't."

So I can relate, aleonard.

I had to give you rep on that BR. I have some fossils on my windowsill right now. Maybe we can give a black thumb as well as a green thumb award once a year in the group

I am working on pics now!!!

I like the look of flowers outside, but I start cursing after digging the first hole (I kill perennials, too!). And I start cursing even more when I try to hire someone to do it for me, and they want to charge a kajillion dollars to do it.

As a result our landscaping consists of two formal gardens with yaupon hedges, plus other bushes and plants that I can't kill. No flowers except for daylilies, azaleas, dogwoods, and cherry trees. Plus a few flowers as base plantings for four topiaries in large pots at two doorways , but they usually die within a month.

At the beach we rely on natural vegetation. I do have two large pots with Mexican sage with lantana as a base planting, but one has died in the past month.

Yeah, I grow things like sea oats...

Mermy, I have inland sea oats. Love 'em.

Today, I bought elephant ear bulbs, caladium bulbs, morning glory seed, and 5 flats of impatiens. Guess I better get off here and get to planting!
p.s. I bought new gloves too!

You guys have got me garden crazy today. I just got back with a Tangerine tree to keep the lemon company. As well as a hydrangea, some lavender(mmmm smells good) a new tomato plant to replace the one the pups smushed. Two gardenias and two blue rug junipers for a little ground cover, plus some granny dollar store picket fence stuff to try and keeps the pups off my veggies. Oh, and a huge peace lily for inside. Pray for it

Sounds like you two have alot of work to do!!! I should have planted some things today. All this rain.....

Well, I'm worn out. Planted 3 of the 5 flats. All the elephant ears & caladiums and put my seeds in to soak. I could have bought so much more like...ahem.. someone up above, but I have to save my $$ for liquor.

Oh dear. That is a truly heartwrenching choice to make. You have my complete sympathies!

It was heartwrenching. I'll be back buying more stuff after the trip. I always buy way too many plants and then have to find a place for them. I don't plan very well. :shock:

I'm worn out too, hon. I'm hooked on the citrus trees right now, but at $40 a pop, I'll have to wait till next month for the ruby red grapefruit I want to plant. I hope one day all the neighborhood will be able to walk down the street and have pesticide free fruit for the taking
