The
first daisy of the season bloomed today. Just one bloom, but soon there will be many more. I've lost track of what kind of daisy it is but it self sows in "a nice way" and I think it is one I started from seed. I'll have to go through my old seed lists to see if I can figure it out.
"Self-sowing in a nice way" means you get some seedlings popping up here and there, but not everywhere. You have enough to fill in some blank spots and still give some away.
This daisy will produce a lot of blooms in the next few weeks, and then the rest of the summer it will bloom here and there if I deadhead it promptly.
And here are my
first flats of annuals.

I bought these from a co-worker who belongs to an organization that sells them as a fund raiser. I could have bought more, but I had to place the order waaaayyyy back in March, and I didn't know what I wanted at the time. I'm not sure why I bought all shade loving annuals because I don't really have that much shade. And the shade I do have is being hogged up by the hostas!
And this is the
first evening of Gardening Vacation 2007. I have many thoughts and ideas about what I want to do this coming week, as many ideas as there are snow-in-summer (
Cerastium tomentosum) flowers now.

I'm going to need a plan...

I do love them lots!
Nickie... That's what I thought, but I've got some other shasta daisies that I know are shasta daisies, but they are different from these.
Old Roses... Thanks, I hope you also had a good gardening week!
Cheers Mark
Kathy, the older sister
Robin... So far, after one day, the rain is holding off. Even if it rains a day or two, I'll be alright, as I have some other days off planned for later this month.
Layanee... I plan to post each day. I do plant a lot of containers for shade on my back patio that faces north.
Mark... I'll have to look up ox-eye daisy to see if that is what these are. Regardless, I like the name!
Laura & Chris... Hi, and welcome, and thanks. Come back anytime.
Kathy the older sister... I might just do that, especially if it rains.
Curtis... It is very nice to have a whole week to garden!
Jodi... Welcome, and one good link deserves another, so I've added your blog to my list of other gardening blogs. Hope you get some better weather soon.
Things look so lush and green there in your gardens!
