"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Spring - Phase II
At the Paco Command Center, the daffodils (or jonquils, as the case may be) have given way to tulips.
Beautiful garden Mr Paco OT for a moment but I wanted to say to all the Americans who,rightly so,got upset about the "tea bagging"coments made by err reporters.Tea Bagging is what your government is doing you.The government is spending your cash on what and who they want and when you complain they are saying to you"suck my nuts"
Beautiful command post you've got, Paco. Sadly, here (just south of Tampa) the only thing blooming is the hibiscus. Lost pretty much everything else during an unexpected non-global warming event.
A neighbor had a whole bank of them that, when they were in bloom, were a beautiful sight. He took a dislike to them one day and tore them all out. Harumph.
My Florida-native hibiscus is making a comeback, as is the philodendron and the bird-of-paradise we thought had died after multiple sessions of global non-warming. Woo HOO!
I also have volunteer sunflowers, and planted some tomatoes (one grape, one bush cherry, one hybrid bred specially for hot humid weather) and cucumbers that will be worth their weight in gold in a few short weeks - fruit has formed, and is maturing nicely!
Will post picture one of these days, really I will.
KC: One thing I loved about living in Florida was you could grow hibiscus like weeds. I found a perennial variety that grows here in Virginia, and I put up some pictures when it blooms (big gaudy flowers, the size of bread plates!)
Beautiful indeed, Paco.
ReplyDeleteMy command post, alas, requires trimming, weed whacking, and liberal application of weed killer. And then I'll have to mow the lawn again.
But the cherry tree is blossoming, very prettily!
... needs more 'dente d'lions' ...
ReplyDeleteCheers
Man, look how green that lawn is.
ReplyDeleteWant to borrow my dog to get some yellow patches in it?
Beautiful garden Mr Paco

Thanks, Bingley, but Mabel - the official dog of Paco Enterprises - can probably handle that.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Sadly true.
You stole those flowers from the poor and oppressed people of color in the Third World, din'cha, you limbic-challenged swine?

ReplyDeleteAre those day lilies I spy by the fence?

Retread: Yep, those are day lilies (good spotting!)
ReplyDeleteI've been clearing weeds around my apartment building. So far I think I've been exposed to more chemicals than New Jersey tap water.
ReplyDeleteI haveta say, tho, I haven't noticed much effect from all the herbicides save for an inexplicable urge to watch Spanish-language TV...
Lovely, Paco. Just lovely.
