New Growth for the Weekend

This is the container the little monster has planted and nourished this spring.  It has grown a lot for him.  He is super excited about the growth of the Dahlia in the center.  I am excited as well.  I can not wait to see the huge nine inch red flowers. I am also excited for him.  He will also be amazed at the size of them. 

He loves his soft little "trees".  They produce new little "trees" every  few days for him to find.

 

Our hanging baskets are full and overflowing with blooms despite the fact that a few birds have tried to take them over.  This morning is a little too windy for good pictures, but they still make me happy every time I look out the window.

 I had to re-pot my Marble Ball Dahlia since I have never had tubers preform so well.  They now have a new and bigger home as of last night beside my spring mums I have rooted.

My deep purple calla lilies are finally getting taller and unfolding their leaves.  I can not wait to see their first flowers.  They are gorgeous. I always have a soft spot for dark blooms.

 Our pumpkins are doing well!  They need a little weeding this weekend, but they are thriving and will soon begin forming runners.

 How could I forget the full moon that is rising this weekend?

 No I do not promote violence I promote healthy living.  This is part of our new fun fitness routine.

Finally, our new pet. This little guy looked lost when he roamed into our garage.  We lured him into a jar a few weeks ago, fed him and he seems to be eating very well.  The wait is on to see what he will turn into.  I did a little research, but all I found is that he may be poisonous.   I can not find pictures of what he might look like as an adult.

So that is what is going on in our yard this weekend. How about yours?  Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend with family, friends, fresh food and beautiful flowers!
