Columbine Flowers

I went back to the garden nursery today. While there, I purchased some columbine flowers. The plants cost $32 for 4 plants at $8 each. The plants were full of flowers and looked healthy. The columbine flowers will be planted in my perennial garden area.

Calla Lily Flower Plant

Today I spent the day purchasing flowers at the local garden center. I purchased three calla lily plants, a few different types of lettuce plants, and a few other flower plants. After I got back from the garden center I planted many of the flowers and lettuce plants in my garden. The calla lily flowers were planted in my house planters. The calla lily flowers brighten up the house.

Dandelion Flower

One of many dandelion in my front yard. The dandelion flowers grow wild in my yard. Some people do not like dandelions. Personally, I like the small yellow flowers. I let the dandelion flower grow in my yards.

Cally Lily

Today I purchased some calla lily bulbs. It is still too cold to plant my calla lilies outside. I will plant the bulbs in planters for now, then when it gets warmer the calla lilies will be planted in my bulb garden. Calla lily flowers are another one of my favorite flowers. I will be planting a mixture of different calla lily flower colors.

Bean Seedling

Another seedling in one of my indoor greenhouse kits. This is a leaf of a bean seedling. I have many different types of vegetable and flower seeds germinating in indoor greenhouse kits. Within the next couple of weeks the seedlings will be planted outdoors once the weather stays warm.

Honeydew Melon Seedling

Honeydew melon seedling in one of my indoor greenhouse kits. I have a few honeydew melon seedlings starting off. Once the plants get bigger, I will be placing the honeydew melon plants with my watermelons, pumpkins, cantaloupes, and other larger plants.

Okra

Okra seedling in one of my indoor greenhouse kits. Okra plants produce very beautiful flower blossoms. I like to eat the okra vegetables, but I really like the okra flower blossoms. Once the weather gets warm enough I will plant the okra in my vegetable garden. The okra pictured is from my second batch of okra seedlings. All together I have around 15 okra seedlings.

Cotton Seedling

Photo of a cotton seedling from one of my indoor greenhouse kits. So far only 3 of my cotton plants have sprouted out. I planted 15 cotton seeds in one of my indoor greenhouse kits. Its been a while since I planted the cotton seeds, so I don't think that the other cotton seeds are going to sprout up. This will be the first year I am trying to grow cotton plants.

Spring Gardening

Above is a picture from my spring flower bulb garden. Today, I cleaned my backyard for this year's gardening. I cleared the yard of weeds, dug up a new area in my backyard for vegetables, and dug up another area for flowers. My back yard has a lot of room for many different types of gardening. My backyard is 2,600 square feet. I use most of my backyard for vegetables and flowers. There will be many different types of vegetables to be planted in my gardens this year.

Lily Bulb

Another lily flower bulb starting to come out in my summer flower bulb garden. My summer flower bulbs start to come out in mid spring and then usually flower around July. In around mid May I will be planting more summer flower bulbs. My summer flower bulb garden has freesia flowers, calla lilies, and many types of lilies.

Sunflower Seedlings

Here are some of my sunflower seedlings in my indoor greenhouse kit. I want to plant my sunflowers outside, but it is still a little too cold. The weather has been varying a lot this month. One day the high temperature is 40 degrees, the next day the high temperature is 70 degrees. I plant my sunflowers in my front yard.

Nasturtium Seedling

A nasturtium flower seedling in my indoor greenhouse kit. Nasturtium flowers are great flower for borders. I am going to plant my nasturtium flowers as a border for my regular flower garden. The nasturtium I am going to plant have many colorful flowers. Nasturtium flowers grow very quickly. These are one of my favorite flowers.

Eggplant

This eggplant in my vegetable garden is doing really well. I planted this eggplant a little early. I have had to protection the vegetables when it got too cold. I like to grow eggplants. I hope the eggplants in my garden do well this year.

Lettuce Plants

My lettuce plants are doing well. I had around 50+ lettuce plants growing from seed in a group. Today I thinned the lettuce plants and planted the lettuce singly. The lettuce vegetable plants are now around four to five inches high. Most of my lettuce was planted last year. I actually did not think that the lettuce was going to grow well in the spot I planted them in the fall. I had a large amount of extra lettuce seeds, so I just threw the lettuce seeds all around my vegetable garden area. The lettuce seedlings that did the best, grew in a bunch of around 50 plants. Since it is getting warmer, I dug up the seedling bunches and planted the lettuce plants separately.

Spring Tulip

Another picture of a spring tulip flower bulb in from my garden. The spring flower bulb garden is doing great. The tulips and daffodils are blooming very nicely.

Pink Tulip

Onions

The onions in my vegetable garden are doing very well so far. These onions were planted last year and came back this year. I have a few onion plants coming out from last years plants. I will be planting more onions in my vegetable garden in a few weeks.

Pumpkin Seedlings

Above is a picture of one of my pumpkin seedlings. I purchased some giant pumpkin seeds online. So far only 5 pumpkin seedlings have started coming up. The rest of the pumpkin seedlings should be coming out in a couple of days or so. I am hoping that these giant pumpkin seedlings grow well this season. I have grown pumpkins in the past, but this is my first year trying to grow giant pumpkins. The seedlings currently are being grown in an small indoor greenhouse. Once the weather gets warm outside, the pumpkins will be planted in my vegetable garden in my backyard. In my backyard garden there is a section I have for large vegetables and fruits.

Snow on Lettuce

It snowed a little more here today. My lettuce had a little snow on top of it. The snow already melted this afternoon. My lettuce seems to be ok without having to protect it from the snow and cold. I had to protect my other vegetables and flowers from the cold again.

Spring Snow

It snowed again here today. One day it is 70 degrees out side and the next day it is snowing. I had to protect my flowers that I already planted in the annual gardens. The crocus flowers, tulips, and daffodils handle the cold better than my other plants. I like how the flowers look with the snow in the background.

Sunflower Seedling

My hollyhock plants are doing good this spring. This one pictured will produce nice red flowers. I have had this hollyhock plant for a couple of years. I have my hollyhock flower plants in my perennial flower garden.

Spring Crocus Flower

Many more crocus flowers are blooming in my garden. These crocus flower bulbs add beauty to any spring garden. I planted my crocuses last fall and they bloomed early this spring. I really like crocus flowers. This fall I will be planting a lot more crocus flower bulbs in my garden.

Yesterday it snowed here. Now all the snow has already melted, the tulip flowers are blooming. A few more tulip flowers bloomed in my bulb garden today. Many of the tulips that bloomed were red. Some of the tulip flowers had red petals with a yellow center. The other red tulips had red petals with a black center.

Spring Snow

Well it snowed again here today. The weather has been difficult for my garden the last couple of weeks. I have had to protect many of my vegetables and flowers in my garden.

Spring Gardening

Many spring flower bulbs are getting ready to bloom. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. As I get excited about getting ready to garden. I enjoy planning and getting all the flower seeds together to start gardening.

Moon Flower Seedling

Picture of a moon flower seedling in one of my indoor greenhouse planting kits. I will be moving the moon flower seedling to larger containers soon, as the seedling get grow quicker than other flower seedlings. I started the seedlings in an indoor greenhouse kit, as it holds the seeds really well an is easy to transfer the seedlings to bigger planters.

Small Columbine

This small columbine is starting to come out this spring. The columbine is in my perennial flower garden area. I have had this columbine plant for a few years. Columbine flowers are one of my favorite flowers to have in my garden. I usually plant at least one additional columbine plant in my garden every year. The columbine pictured will have a yellow flower in summer.
