greetings from the garden: flowers, flowers and more flowers

These happy flowers are just what I need to see after a 30° drop in temperature and nonstop rain and now frozen rain...

Nasturtium, Tropaeolum Majus Double Gleam (orange)

I am soooo excited to have been able to plant a flower garden for cutting purposes, thank you Buster! While most of the seeds made it in the ground last evening, I had to soak the ranunculus bulbs and morning glory seeds over night.

Although I wasn't quite outfitted for planting in the rain, I made my way out to the yard with my faithful sidekick, "Dog Faced Boy", my horse rescue wellies (thank goodness I hadn't taken them out of the car!) and proceeded to dig in the mud. All the while, frozen snow sneaking in past my waistband. But I will have flowers dammit, and they will be lovely!
