Is 2010 going to be miraculous?

As I look at all that Ive invested in for this season I wonder if God is wanting me to think big and that He will bring in a wonderful prolific harvest?  I can only lean and trust that He will.  Nothing is too big for him.
Well Lord there are new potentials again.  Stephane wants lots of herbs.  Hope they will be nice for harvest as he needs them. I should make a thick patch of them to use a little less room in the garden. Fred wants lots of red trailing petunias.  He wants aleast 4 big baskets and flowers for window boxes and whiskey barrels.  All in red and white. I should really take note of what I all have in red and white.
Then there will be a whole lot going to Hecla again. Lord maybe there will be more? I pray for a nice warm sunny summer.  But you have the best plan in store for us.

Wee Willies

Wee Willies are a type of flower about 3-4 inches in circumference in bright shades of red pink and white and burgundy. They have amazing detail in each petal which makes them so unique.  They are a perennial/biennial type of flower. Truly a work of God's creativity.

Winter is not that bad this year

Temperatures are rather nice out for winter that is.  I look back and say its been a nice winter.  A beautiful November cutting it short by a month and then a few days of really cold( good for those bush wackers) and January is behind us February is a short month and then comes March.  A time for me to really get serious about seeding petunias and all the other flowers and stuff I want to start growing.  Then comes the end of March and I will march into my greenhouse with my boxes of baby plants and start my new growing season.  Woweeeee. Cant wait.
Meanwhile I hope to work a few more days at Hecla to gain abit more moolah to pay for all these goodies I am planning for this year.
Come and bless me Lord Its all in your  hands......

January is almost gone

Janury is almost gone and February is coming in with cold weather by the sounds of it.  My winter has been good for the most part . I have officailly started some seeds of perennials that need lots of time.  Seed orders are coming in every few days now.  I have decided  what I am going to do as far as my new greenhouse year.  I have ordered enough seeds and bulbs and plants for this year I believe.  Enogh is enough Wilma.  I have some new plans for my own yard.  '
I want to go thru my perennial bed and cut out a patch for cutflower anuals.  My tall annuals and bulbs are going at the edge of my vegetable garden this year.  So if anybody wants some perennials from my garden come along and choose come  May or June once they start coming up.
My dahlias tall cosmos and lavatera, Himalayan Impatiens and Malva I want to put at the edge of the garden.  I might put in a patch of marigolds imn my garden as well to deter bugs.  Flowers in my garden may bring in more bees to pollinate vegetables.
I want to try seeding my cabbage cauliflower and broccolli in the garden too.  I think Ill make a patch of it instead of a row.
On the north side of my house I think I will seed my herbs and lettuce so its closer to the house when I need it.
Then around my pond I will use pots instead of planting in the ground Seems to work better there. I will use pots on my stumps  in the backyard as well with begonias and shade plants.  I need to decide on the patch I cultivated.  Impatiens and coleus and shade annuals till I get that patch totally rid of grass.
On the north side it will be impatiens and cocktail begonias . 
Up front it will be New guinea Impatiens among my roses again.  They were so beautiful there last year.
I will use lots of petunias in my tubs here and there around the yard. I think I will plant my cannas against the house by the dining room and plant marigolds in front now instead of impatiens there.
In the bed by the hydro pole I will put daisy and geraniums with allysum and verbena along the edge.
The bed by the road I will put zinnias, celosia, and I wiill decide on the border plant there maybe matricaria.
I might put a few millets in the very centre.
Along the south border it will be phlox, snapdragon, petunias.
I need to move my lythrum and then I will put a bed of pansy and asters in there.
