Happy Friday! Since I have put my gardens to bed for winter, I haven’t much to flaunt but I went out there anyway, hopeful, camera in hand. To my surprise I actually found a couple of blooms in the garden. Meager as they are, they are still flowers, so here they are. All two of [...]
There is still a bit of growing going on here. The rose bush surprised me with a couple of new buds, even though I thought I had seen the last flower last week. The daisies are still making up for lost time, my hibiscus gave me one last bloom before I brought her inside and [...]
Fall is upon us on this first friday in October although there are still plenty of blooms weathering the weather that has turned drastically cold. Today it was 40 degrees in the AM. Yuck! Too soon if you ask me. Kind of gloomy, damp and windy also. Have I painted a picture for you yet? [...]
*Mouse over photos for names I keep expecting to be out of flowers for Fertilizer Friday, but my garden persists, tempting that first frost to keep it from flourishing. Hopefully there are a couple of weeks left before Jack Frost visits. I hope your day is going well and your flowers are still blooming. [...]
The middle of September is upon us. It is cooler but it’s still nice enough. You can tell that summer weather is just about done, but the flowers are rebounding with the cooler temperatures.

We are finally getting some tomatoes in quantity. We harvested a bunch last night as well as peppers and lots of them. I even found a tiny pumpkin. There are still quite a few patches of color around the yard and many flowers to admire as August winds down. It’s kind of sad to [...]
It is August 21st. Fertilizer Friday is here and things are still looking pretty good. The morning glories are bloming ! I just love those blossoms every day. A poker plant has surprised me with a couple of flowers. This is pink Lobelia. First time I have ever grown it. Lots of hot peppers! [...]
Fertrilizer Friday! Since I was carelessly laying on the beach last week, I am more than ready to join in on this week’s Fertilizer Friday. It is amazing how behind you can get in your garden when you miss just one week. Now that I have caught up with all the work I [...]
Today is Fertilizer Friday once again and once again Iam thrilled to participate in Tootsie’s FF. I have been busy all week, but never too busy to stop and smell the roses~ that reminds me, my Hot Cocoa re-bloomed. They are such beautiful roses. I also have an interesting lily that I don’t know the name of and [...]
It is another gray friday here but my flowers are bright and cheery. We actually had a very nice week that felt like July. Hot and humid, not as sunny as I would choose but balmy and warm like July ought to be. I have been visiting many of the gardens that people blog about [...]
