Over the weekend I saw some of the wild violets sprouting out in the yard. They are here and there. I noticed some in a clover patch and some by the chicken coops. They are such a pretty shade of purple. I thought I would share...

Sheilamarie78 @Sheilamarie78 (2586) • Canada 10 Mar 16

I wrote a post this morning about the signs I've noticed that spring is here. Later on I was out and noticed our crocuses are popping up in the grass. Sometimes I don't notice them because they grow right up between the dead...

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 26 May 09

Does anyone know if there's a way to get them to multiply? I know I've seen them in my yard off and on & recognize them from my grandmothers yard. Well they've made their way into my front flower bed and they are a perfect fit!...

African Violets anyone??

Lilsanta @Lilsanta (35) • United States 26 Jan 07

African violets are my favorite. I currently have 54 plants. They are so easy for me to grow and bloom. When I have to repot one I have a hard time throwing away a leaf that may break off. So in another pot it goes. Two years...
