April Showers Bring May Flowers

Well, since I finally got my paycheck, I was able to get potting soil (more MG) and some Bonnie Plants. I wanted to get some mature plants because the seeds are having a little trouble starting. That's okay. 
The only thing was that there was a limited variety of plants, but I managed to walk out with 4 varieties of tomato plants! I will update on the breeds later.

When I planted the corn in the ground, apparently I had good timing. It is really taken root and is getting bigger and bigger. I'm so excited!

I went ahead and used the liquid Miracle Gro feed today. It didn't look like I used a lot, but I followed the directions and saturated the soil. I made sure to include all container plants, in ground plants, and my flower bed up front. My tiger lillies are poking out of the ground, but the iris and the Dahlia are not. I fear that they might not even come up at all. 

Surprise! While I was watering the hanging potted plants, I found a bird's nest with 3 tiny eggs in one of the plants. I carefully removed it, and placed it in one of the wire hanging plant holders. The material in the bottom actually makes good nest material. I did try to get it close to its original position, so hopefully it won't become abandoned. 

Well, that is all for today. I hope to finish mowing my lawn completely this week. I feel the blades need to be sharpened on the mower because apparently it became wet and rusted some. The job I did on Friday was not that good. I'm going to have to figure that one out.

Until next time.
