Today's Project: Digging Wisteria

I worked outside this afternoon while hubby mowed the grass. The other day we cut down brush and some small trees from around trees and around the cement slab out where the old barter/general store used to be years before. So I hauled some of those piles to the other side of the house and property to the burn pile.
After I did that (I didn't finish but was tired of going back and forth), I decided to get the shovel out and did up some wisteria before the man mowed it all down. I got about 8 up and potted them all. I did very well with these on Ebay last year so will be listing them again.
I am not seeing hardly any pecan trees. That was another big seller on Ebay for me. I will finish up with potting on the next pretty day outdoors with getting some Elderberry bushes started/rooted. I will be adding to the plants going on Ebay this year with some day lilies. I will start with the Stella De Oro's lilies. They are a smaller flower in a deep golden yellow shade.
I can't wait to get back outside! All of my flowers need attention! How are your flowers doing now that Spring is trying to take hold?

The plants in the house that bloom are blooming right now. The stuff outside are just starting to sprout.

@kareng Trees and weeds are already blooming. The neighbors have flowers that are blooming already. We don't have anything this early.

@wolfgirl569 I will work on all that next week. We have a pretty day today, but I am exhausted from all the running around.

@kareng Glad you found it. I am letting the trees leaf out a little bit more. Then I am going to try getting starts of those mulberry trees.

Do you grow flowers just too sell them or do you take time to enjoy them too? I'm surprised that they might get mowed down is that common where you live?

No, I started putting them on Ebay just to "save" the plants popping up all over my yard. That way someone else can also enjoy them. My husband is notorious for cutting things down. It is a war here. I always try to get out and dig before he mows. I have native pecan trees popping up also. And I root Elderberry trees for Ebay. It pretty much took off!

@kareng I like wisteria but have none to view nearby. I think my friend had one on her property years back.

We have mostly weeds in our front garden. One of these days we will hire a landscaper to plant some flowers and mulch. Have a good week.

@LindaOHio We had them in Bogalusa and it was so pretty when they bloomed. We had a row out front by the road from my grandparents house to our house and from our house to my aunt and uncles!

I don't grow them. I learned many years ago I don't have much of a green thumb. Poor things I usually end up killing them some how.

We need to get some more flowers, but we haven't yet. We had a cold snap last week which I am glad we hadn't planted anything yet.
