We live in zone 6a and I have been gardening and cooking for years. This blog is an opportunity for me to share with you my success and those failures that come about on occasion. Plus, I want to hear from all the gardeners and bakers and cooks out there and learn from you. Feel free to share your ideas.

Amaryllis-Spring is Gone and Snow Flakes Are Here

Yesterday it reached 80 degrees and today we had snow flurries. So much for that marvelously sunny weather we had yesterday. I certainly enjoyed it and i know in a few weeks we will have consistently warm days. As promised below is a photo of my amaryllis that has re bloomed for the second year.
It looks pretty spectacular in person. There are a couple of other blooms that have almost opened. I do not baby these bulbs. I will put them out in their pots on the patio this summer, provide water and fertilizer and hopefully remember to bring them indoors in August so that they will bloom for Christmas.  Directly behind the amaryllis is my Meyer lemon. Yep it has about 10 lemons and I have had this plant for several years. It goes out on the patio in May and I bring it indoors in October.

  1. Beautiful blooms!
    And lemons--that's really nice. Always wanted to try a Meyer lemon.
