Sometimes you just run across a greeting card that you just can't pass up and think to yourself what could I use this for? And there isn't an answer, at least in this case. Never the less, Mr. Jackson did come home with me. We will see what the future holds for him.

To help me keep track of things I have planted I am trying to keep these tags and eventually sketch the design of my garden. Hopefully I will learn what i like and do not like and how to care the best care of them.

SPRING PLANTING

2010-05-10T19:54:00.021-04:00

I finally waited until Mother's Day to do any planting but, it was tough! These plants are courtesy of Home Depot and Linda Tuck. There is more to come. I have wanted to add this Sedum for a while: Stonecrop- Autumn Joy. Not hard to get at all, I have just been lazy. This type of Sedum is called: Stonecrop-Angelina (Sedum). I love the texture and it's yellow-green color. I think this stuff has a million different names but, I know it as Creeping Charlie. It grows like a weed and hopefully it will here too. In a month or two it should be draping out of the bird bath. In my blue pots that stand guard at my front door I combined magenta petunias and bright orange marigolds that smell wonderful. Definitely out of my comfort zone color-wise. SAD POPPIES: My mom's neighbor Linda has a very structured color scheme in her garden. It is filled with beautiful purples and blues. These poppies are yellow and were running rampant in her garden. So, she gave some to my mother and I. I didn't plant mine for 24 hours so, I think I made them a little sad. We will see if they perk up in the next day or two.

Oyster Fest

2007-10-21T19:52:00.001-04:00

We went to the St. Mary's County Oyster Festival on Saturday with Jim and Stasha. The drive was pretty long and we got a late start. Stasha has a little too much fun the night before (props) and for once Sean and I were actually ready to go before them. Which I should mention is always my fault. View from the St. Mary's/Solomons Island Bridge? Not sure which one. View from the sun roof, gorgeous day! Fried oyster were awesome. Big Ass Cow. No, it is not a bull. The farmer said it was female. I was taking the day as a challenge. I had full intentions of downing raw oysters and taking oysters shooter after oyster shooter like a champ (BTW did not see any of those). I always want to like them but, the day proved again that I can not handle their squishy, flaccid, mucus like texture.Pictured here are grilled oysters. Did not like. Stasha and I played the old throw a pigpong ball into a little tiny glass bowl. On my very last try I sunk one! My new fish.
