" I'm Bloom'n Crazy Lately "

It seems here lately there is just SO much to do! I'm pretty
much a crazo from trying and I'm not the only bloom'n
crazy thing around here.

The flowers and the vegetable gardens
are bloom'n crazy too and I want you to see one of the benefitsof living in the deep south..............









But first I want to show you this....................
We were sitting on the screen porch Saturday morning
drinking our coffee and watching the birds feed. I kept
seeing the female Hummingbird feed then go to Maple
a few feet away. I told Hubby I thought she had a nest
in that tree. So he goes to look and this is what we found!
we are not sure this is her nest as we have not been able
to actually see her at it.........

















Another view......Its leaves are wrapped in a swirl






Let's tour the late garden that got washed away after the
first planting....................little Zucchini







It has nearly washed out a second time as it has rained for
three days until yesterday afternoon...............
Watermelon Vines....









A long shot..................










One of the Eggplant's has blooms.....














The flowers really are bloom'n crazy.............
Yellow Lantana...............















And Orange.........................
















The pink and yellow Lantana is my favorite........











Remember the plant I bought in Mobile that I forgot the
name of? None of you seemed to know what it was either.












Well, it's bloom'n too................
I think it is so pretty!

That's red Verbena it's next to.










The Bougainvillea is really gone crazo.......................













Frosted Pink Canna's are starting to bloom too...
















As well as the red ones at the pond house












This is white Larkspur in St. Francis bed
The Four O'clocks behind it had a bloom yesterday











The Trumpet Vine at the pond house is
almost to the top...............












And it's about to bloom..........................
















We are already eating out of the raised beds out back!
Cucumbers....................















I've been giving away yellow squash for two weeks.......













We've been eating and giving away all kinds of pepper















A pollinating Bee got caught by my camera..........















I kid you not......we have a zillion green tomatoes just
about this size....I'm ready for some Fried Green Tomatoes!











So the rain is gone for the moment at least
and the sun is out
beaming from the east.................
I expect I'll canning and freezing for weeks
Hoeing and pulling to stay ahead of the weeds...........








Please let me say that your comments make my day!!!
I don't always answer and I hate it when I can't get to it and I feel really I have no excuse and I'm hoping to do better. However Spring is really crazy on a farm with 25 head of cattle, gardens, flowers and other stuff too. All of our grown children live in other states, so the work is all on us. If I don't answer it is because I am out helping on the farm. By the time I do a post and visit all of you and comment, I have spent my leisure time but I am gonna attempt to do better!!!







Thank you all for the comments on my soldier family!
I am very proud that I come from such brave stock
on all four sides of my family!!
