Now I find time to look for the new projects and all posts from the last time. We had my Mom in our home and I spend a lot of time with her. So my sewingmachine had to wait...

I´am pleased about our garden, it grows as never seen in April, this makes a lot work too.

Wunderschön Elamausi! Und für deutsche Verhältnisse riesengross - da würde ich die Nähmaschine auch mal ruhen lassen, besonders, wenn auch noch so lieber Besuch da ist. Und Dresden und Umgebung sind auch wunderschön. Hatten wir vor 2 Jahren besucht...lebe selbst im
Odenwald
wonderful - and huge for the German circumstances - so I also would give my sewing machine a rest, especially when expecting such a
lovely visitor. And Dresden and surrounding are so beautiful too.
Have been there 2 years ago with my family - but we live in small mountains Odenwald (close Darmstad and Heidelberg)

Kay,is #2 what we call Confederate Rose? I had 4 and I think they are dead.I also lost 2 Bottlebrush bushes.My knock-out roses are in full bloom,also my iris.I just about lost all my verbenia.All my pot plants died, with the exception of my Hen and Biddies.This has been a hard winter on them and me,I just don't know if I have the heart to start again,re-planting.....Are you in the tornado path,the national weather channel is forecasting? I hope not,it has been so destructive.My sister is in Ark. right now,but I checked on her.It went south of her, so she is fine.

Pic. 2 shows a chinese paeonia (Baumpfingstrose). This is as a small tree, means the plant goes not under the floor in winter but they has no problem with frost. I have this paeonia together with an yellow one 4 years , now she is 1Meter high.

For katydid: I live in the town Freiberg near the big town Dresden in Germany. Last year we had snow until easter and so I am happy to have a look of all the blooms this year.

Fabulous garden. Color knowledge carries over from the sewing machine to the garden or vice versa. Do you ever just sit and "drink" it in?

Yes, I do so, this gives me a lot of inspiration for other things.

Your garden is really beautiful. It must take up a lot of your time. I love to see beautiful gardens, but I am sadly not a gardener.

This is a lovely area! I think I'd have to build a screened in porch with windows, just so I could make it my sewing room, this would help creativity immensely. You obviouly have a VERY green thumb...alas I have not one but two that don't work, this way. :P Enjoy Leaha

It is a lot of work but so rewarding.Your flowers are beautiful! I am afraid mine succumbed to our harsh winter.I lost a lot,even some bushes.

I am so sad to hear this, last year I lost some trees, they breaked down under the snow. I wish Icould give you from my plants.
