Garden and turtles

My patio garden is doing well!
These are the morning glory seeds that I planted earlier. There are also some sweet peas that are planted in here. I used a tomato cage for them to climb on and my Hummingbird feeder is on a shepherds hook that they will climb on as well.This is an apple scented geranium. It looked rather sad and puny this winter. It is really shaping up nicely.
Kangaroo paw. This is the coolest plant. It will keep these flowers for a long time. Even when they are all dried up they look interesting. The hummingbirds love them. I'll take a close up of the flowers. They are tubular and alien looking.
My mini rose, blooming beautifully.
The long awaited turtles are finally awake! I took them out a few weeks ago when the weather warmed. Since then we've had cool weather and even some rain. They are not overly thrilled about the season.
Tom never really likes to soak.

Mo is still quite shy. Especially when she first wakes up.


The happy couple!

Frankie is a big boy huh! I don't get to see him much. I'll post more pics soon.

It's good to see the turtles up! It still amazes me the way they hibernate. I wonder what adventures they will have this year???
