Six Months Ago - 7/31/09

Postby tsbccowboy » Jan 31, 2010 4:39 pm

Photos taken six months ago on 7/31/09.

Wrapping up another month.

One step closer to Spring. Once February is here, our temps may still go below zero; however, even if the temps are below zero at night, they will usually get above zero in the daytime (except last year we had a few days stay below zero in February).

More fantastic pictures to help get through this cold!

I would guess that your NOID plant is Blue Mammoth - and it certainly is a monster :eek: :D

Thanks Chris - the NOID was purchased from the local garden club and probably wasn't marked. Even if it had been marked, it was planted before I started labeling Hostas.

The good news is February is only 28 days! Spring is getting closer each day.

Another great round of pics. That huge NOID is stunning, whatever it is.

Thanks, Cowboy!! I've sure enjoyed seeing your gardens from just emerging thru summer. :D
When I saw your huge NOID, my 1st thought was that you were going to need to move your AC unit soon. :eek: :wink:

I could never understand what people meant by "Hosta gardener logic"; I think I got it.

Just put a couple more concrete blocks to the side of the AC and I think that hosta will move it for you ;)
