Kathleen Trout Horvath  ....We have used Milorganite on our lawn  and had a problem with the dogs eating so much of it daily.  Anyone else have that type of problem?  We have switched to corn gluten on our lawn now  . They don't seem to bother with eating that .

Just for fun, here are some things blooming out in the garden right now, an Aloe cryptopoda with neat orange buds and yellow blooms, a simple yellow pansy, and a large colorful talavera pot filled with striped petunias and red geraniums (both are great performers here autumn, winter, and spring).  Happy gardening flower lovers!

Hiya flower lovers!  Just for fun, here's a double flowered Adenium obesum blooming in a large pot outside on my patio this week.  It's a nice succulent fat-plant that likes plenty of sun/food/water when it's hot, and plenty of dry sun when it's not hot and/or when it drops its leaves for winter.  It is loving our hot weather these days, so I thought I'd share a quick pic.  I hope you enjoy.  Keep YOUR pics and updates coming too!  Happy gardening!

Wow - looks beautiful! Mornings here are very nice, too. I believe we're in zone 9 here and this is our "June gloom" time of year when most mornings we wake to drizzle and cool temps :) LOVE it!

Just a couple of hanging baskets with cascading vincas (Catharanthus rosea) in my back garden this morning.  The pink blooms in the foreground are oleander plants I started from stem cuttings, and there are also several citrus trees, datura plants, lantanas and other goodies too.  It's getting HOT here in the afternoons, but mornings are still very nice, so I get out there early and enjoy.  Happy gardening, flower fans!

Hi everyone, I noticed this Rudbeckia hirsuta ("black-eyed Susan" or "gloriosa daisy") blooming in my garden so I thought I'd share a picture.  It popped up on its own, right near a no-spine prickly pear Opuntia cactus and I thought it looked neat.  Take care and keep the pics and updates coming.  Happy gardening!

Thank you Maggie and Zigmund!  We're having storms tomorrow, and on Wednesday, I'll use the Miracle Gro!

Comment by Maggie Devlin on June 11, 2012 at 5:08pm

Oh and I did not add it.   I replaced it.

Comment by Maggie Devlin on June 11, 2012 at 5:08pm

I just used miracle grow potting soil and it worked great!  That bloom booster is a good tip Zigmund.  Thx!  :-)
