Noticed last night that something had hightailed it through one of my back yard beds and one of my pink perfection lilies had been snapped off at the ground level. *sniff*
I'm sure it was an animal, and an accident, but still. I need to stake the lilies anyway, so I guess I'll get out there and do it this evening.
The lilies on the front hill are going gangbusters. I swear, every little bulblet that I put in there is putting out a healthy stem. It's going to be glorious! The anemones are starting to leaf out, and there's quite a few of the purple poppies coming up. They're mostly congregated on the top of the hill, I think during "hill cleanup" this weekend, I'll move a few of them around, and scatter them around the whole hill.
I think I'm going to need to add tulips to the front hill this year---some of them came back very well, others not so well. Oh well, they're inexpensive (relatively) and easy. I think Colorblends will get some of my money later in the fall.
The eggplant are just about in bloom. I need to be careful about watching the weather, and be sure to protect them if it gets cold. I probably should install the tomato supports now, too, rather than waiting until they grow and trying to fit around them.
It's almost 60, and I'd really rather be home. I have things to do! But since I didn't win the lottery last night, I'm at the office. :)

And I need to get her to plant more lilies.
And I really need to start digging out some of the coneflower that has "self propagated" everywhere. Worse than the damn dandelions!
Now, I just need to figure out what plants to buy mom for mother's day as she already bought herself some herbs and tomatoes....
Daylilies? (always a good thing in my book).
I wish my coneflowers were reseeding. They haven't done much.
Do you think I could mail some coneflower plants to you? Would they survive? *g* Or I could just send you loads and loads of seeds in the fall....purple and white and black-eyed susan ones....
Apparently that's how you make new ones. Instead of one coming up, I have about five. *snerk* Well. Okay then. Learn something new.
