FLOWER GARDENS

AS MARY ENTERS HER LAST WEEK OF CASINO WORK FOR THE SEASON, HER THOUGHTS WILL BE OF HER FLOWER GARDENS AT “THE MOUNTAIN” CABIN. WE WON’T BE HEADED UP THE MOUNTAIN UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF APRIL, AS WE HAVE A COUPLE OF SCOOTER TRIPS PLANNED HERE ON THE LOWER DESERT FIRST.

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET THOSE SEEDLINGS STARTED.

WE TRIED THIS EGG CARTON SYSTEM LAST YEAR WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. FROM THE EGG CARTON THE SMALL PLANTS ARE MOVED TO STYROFOAM COFFEE CUPS UNTIL MOTHER’S DAY WHEN IT’S SAFE FROM FREEZING TEMPS ON “THE MOUNTAIN”, AND THEY ARE PLANTED OUTSIDE.

WE ARE ALSO TRYING SOME GERANIUM CUTTINGS.

WE HAVE NEVER SUCCESSFULLY GROWN ANYTHING ON THE DESERT, AND SINCE THERE WILL BE MANY PICTURES THIS SUMMER OF MARY’S FLOWER GARDENS I THOUGHT I’D SHOW HER FLOWER GARDEN HERE ON THE DESERT.

YOU’LL NOTE THAT ALL THE FLOWERS ARE METAL !
