I covet the maroon of the redbud but our Hill Country alkaline soil and arid climate would kill it. Hope you post regular pictures so I can enjoy yours.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-25665282539165775302010-04-30T17:00:35.123-05:002010-04-30T17:00:35.123-05:00I've been so busy outside that I've gotten...I've been so busy outside that I've gotten way behind on reading blogs. I had to come into work at the model home this afternoon to get caught up on them, LOL. I applaud your choices of new trees. I hope the Dogwood does brilliantly for you. I don't remember your childhood friend's song about the pawpaws ... but now I'm hearing "way down yonder in the pawpaw patch ..." over and over in my head!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-80724250230782702002010-04-30T08:26:25.210-05:002010-04-30T08:26:25.210-05:00All your new trees are beautiful, Jean!

I do like the sweetspire, and I'm intrigued by the 'Little Henry'; I'll have to check that one out. <br /><br />I didn't realize birds would clean out their nests--how thoughtful of them! We've had such strong winds here the last two days, I'm afraid some of the bird nests may have blown away.<br /><br />Isn't it ironic that we have so much to show in the spring, yet so much less time to actually blog about it?:) I find myself pushing myself away from the computer in the morning so I can get out to the garden.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-32298697225429247642010-04-29T14:26:37.468-05:002010-04-29T14:26:37.468-05:00I have the Lanai purple and peach verbenas.

I just keep plugging along though.~~DeeDee @ Red Dirt Ramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-22732708299018917682010-04-29T12:47:02.004-05:002010-04-29T12:47:02.004-05:00How exciting to have all those new trees!

I just planted three for Earth Day and hope I can get them through their first Mississippi summer without a $5000 water bill!<br /><br />Our dogwood is on a slope in partial sun. It is very healthy-looking but doesn't bloom much. <br /><br />LOVE LOVE that last picture of the fern!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904073032627748614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-61577091090225132952010-04-29T12:45:43.902-05:002010-04-29T12:45:43.902-05:00It is easy to over look an itea out of bloom~excep...It is easy to over look an itea out of bloom~except in the fall when it's leaves turn brilliant burgundies. I noticed that three new ones I brought still have burgundy leaves but those two year in the ground are a fresh green. Your dogwood is so sweet~they are picky about drainage! Mine did not set bud this year when we had 18 inches of rain last fall! I find myself blaming squirrels, but chipmunks and raccoons can be very bad! Unfortunately I have found deer hoof prints and eaten plants in the Susan's bed...I hope you have a good weekend and plenty of time in your garden~ gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-64810916994689982082010-04-29T11:18:25.786-05:002010-04-29T11:18:25.786-05:00I agree...spring is going by at warp speed.

They stomp through everything.<br /><br />There must be a lot of plants called 'Mock Orange'. I think I've seen one that's different from that one, too.<br /><br />Happy gardening,<br />~~Linda...Linda/patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639872362919575736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-78222799897408431422010-04-29T10:31:22.656-05:002010-04-29T10:31:22.656-05:00I know what you mean - Spring arrives and then it&...I know what you mean - Spring arrives and then it's full-out in the garden and then all of a sudden it's Summer!
