Grams must have planted this Poinsettia flower / plant about 10 years ago. I thought I really had killed it off this past Summer with lack of water and a very helpful lawn groomer who kept trimming the dead branches off till there was hardly anything left of it. I think this poor plant has a inner clock issue. I read a story once that said Poinsettia's actually don't bloom in the winter, that the growers some how force them to bloom so that we can enjoy them in the winter. It said that they actually bloom in July, well its April now and this has been blooming since March. I'm actually thinking about Christmas already and I know that when Christmas does come in 265 days that I'll be so over it..except for Christmas dinner!!! (see previous Christmas's post)
So here is some of my Spring garden...we have so much lettuce I think we are going to need a rabbit to eat it all. I usually wait too long to plant the lettuce and it usually doesn't grow or gets burned, not this year. I still have some more I can plant. I'm trying to grow stuff that we are going to eat a lot of, since food prices are going up so high..too bad I can't grow gas. $4.05 a gallon for the cheap stuff. I'm going to be walking a bit more I think.
