planting time here in the south.

well another rainy stormy day followed by a warm clear evening.really not much going on other that that.i planted some african daisy as well as some pansies.my confederate roses are starting to come out of hibernation as well as my angels trumpet.hydrangeas are starting to looking healthy as well as the butterfly bushes.another 2 weeks i should be seeing on my amaryllis some flowers.they have been growing pretty fast the last month.my wisterias are starting to wake up up as well.i am looking to getting some double flower confederate roses and some rose of sharon as well.i lost a couple of my cacti through one cold snap we had but other than that they are all looking ggod so far.i am afraid of maybe to much rain but i do have pleny of sand and rocks in with my cacti garden that it should pretty much drain rather quickly.but knowing they rather have a hot sunny day over a rainy one is quite obvious. but i will be adding more cacti in the garden and fixing it where the cold next year does not affect it as much.i have to clean it up some but it will happen as it dries back up.we do need some drier weather so i can finish up with the leaves.but my work it cut out for me.i been doing what i can inbetween raindrops.i am looking forward to having quite a few beautiful plants and flowers in my yard this year.each year i add more and more and do it different every year to not get bored with the same old same.but it been an unusual warm month for us in mississippi.not that we get really cold weather here on the gulf.well i will keep u uptodate as the days goes by hopefully no unexpected cold snap anytime soon.
