Marigolds

[redbird]

I planted some marigolds in front of my building this afternoon. They're bright and colorful, and I hope sufficiently tough.

This is the first gardening I've done in a couple of years. Last spring, that (and quite a bit else) was eaten by the gall bladder surgery, and for a couple of years any fall bulb planting got put off until it was too late.

After planting, and coming upstairs and showering, I went back out and took a few photos. I may try for better photos later, but I wanted to get some right away. (It's obvious from the photos that these are just-planted.)



The two shown by themselves are on the south side of the tree; the rest are on the north side.







Note: This is a cross-post from my LJ account, and I suspect the images shouldn't work on Dreamwidth. I can't tell if I'm seeing them because they're cached or because LJ's software isn't set up to block Scrapbook image requests from offsite. I also put two of them on Flickr. If you're reading this here and haven't looked at it on LJ, please let me know whether you see images or only the alt tags.

I don't think I've read this on LJ yet, I can see the pictures although they are quite small (I don't know what size they are meant to be). Good luck with the gardening.

I shrunk them some, to save space. Of course, if I'm going to do that sort of thing, I need to prune my photo directories on my hard disk as well.
