Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

The biggest discovery today was the African violet I was paying no attention to:  my wife was taking care of it.  It was near the kitchen window and it was growing robustly.  I looked really carefully and discovered it had buds.  I usually kill them.  I can’t wait to tell my wife and also discover what color the blooms become.  Now I can watch it and see the flowers unfold.

I am wondering whether our black-eyed susans are going to come up.  I wanted them along the wooden picket fence bordering the road.  My wife planted seeds last Fall along this border which is over one hundred feet long.  We will see.  I thought they would accent the fence nicely.

I love black-eyes susans.  They keep spreading in our yard.  My wife also helps them along.  The blooms last for many weeks.  I have been helping my wife in the garden more because she physically can’t do the same work there she used to be able.  She has a bad back and pays for everything.

Last year we had several cherry tomato plants in large pots.  I love snacking on them.  Before we know it the winter will be over and it will be spring my favorite season.  Everything comes alive again.  And spring always come after winter which I just endure.  I don’t like cold weather.  And makes anticipating spring that much sweeter.
