Connie, such a pretty garden. My favorite flower is Black Eyed Susan. This plant is so happy to look at. Thank you for sharing.

Connie your garden is beautiful. I am hoping we had our last frost warning last night as I am starting to plant today. Love getting my hands in the dirt. I love the pocket hose as well. Much better then dragging that heavy hose everywhere.

A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life.

Connie, we can have a freeze up until mid May. That's why I am always late to planting my garden. We won't plant anything that can't freeze until after May 15th. Our weather does show some close to freezing temps for next week, so I will be waiting even longer to plant my garden this year.

Krista, I hope the freeze didn't do damage, Do you usually have a freeze in April?
MaryJanesNiece Posted - Apr 17 2026 : 2:07:37 PM
We just dropped down below freezing again last night. I think it will be awhile until our flowers bloom. Hopefully the freeze didn't cause any real damage.

Thank you Krista! It's my happy time after winter! I start when it cool because I cannot tarry long outside in the extra heat!

Thank you Wanda Sue and Dawn!
My area is small due to health issues, but it's brings me so much peace and Joy! I love perennials. Especially Dianthus! So easy, they love to be pruned, whick keeps them thick untill winter!

Dawn, daffodils are my favorite! We had a super hard freeze here right when they were budding, so many buds died, first time in 40 years, I've seen that with daffodils.

I'm so excited my pocket garden hose came, it's light as a feather and rolls back up when you turn off the water. I wish I had got one sooner! I can't pull out that heavy hose we had anymore, wears me out! This new hose is a God Send!!

You have a lovely garden Connie. It's really nice when the perennials return. Here in the Chicago area the daffodils and early spring wildflowers are blooming. It's wonderful to see colors again outside!

You have a beautiful garden of flowers Connie Sue. We got back to SC yesterday so I am ready to get mine started.
