Hi friends! Welcome to the Thursday garden stroll! We have had unseasonably warm weather here on the coast of California for about two weeks. It has made for an interesting week in our Winter garden. (and it has made us a couple of sun-lounging fellows!) Let's go see what is in the garden this week!
So the Pansies have started blooming. Mom planted these to have a bit of Winter color. They weren't doing much until this recent hot spell. It's been so dry, Mom actually had to water the garden this week.
Our English Bells (Hullo Milo and Alfie!) are doing well too. Whatever was eating them has moved on to someone else's garden!
Here is the big surprise of the week! Not only did our Zinnia's NOT die over the Winter like they usually do, but they actually BLOOMED this week. Very unusual. We think it might be because they face the south and are right next to the street so they get a lot of radiant heat.
Thanks for joining us on this week's garden stroll. Don't forget to visit our friend Jonesie to see what the other Feline Gardeners are up too.
Happy Thursday! xoxo, Raymond and Busby
Thanks for a glimpse of summer! We are so ready for winter to be over so we can soak up the sun in our backyard.
