Took a walk around the block in this beautiful weather. Sunshine and 60 degrees is perfect. Noticed some new neighbors moving in across the way. I waved and maybe will meet them one day. My neighbor's little cock-a-poo walked...

Begonias Are Liking the Shade

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 4 Aug 21

Started these begonia plants inside. A few years ago I transplanted them into the outside garden. They are suppose to do well with a lot of shade and filtered sunlight. And they are doing well so far. Love seeing these small red...
