You need to keep me out of the garden centers. I went today to get some potting soil and plant foods. I came away with some more plants. I could not help it, really. I had no intent on doing that as I really did not need anymore. Actually no room. Well I did find room. I loved these pink things.
Carnations
Sweet Williams
Along with those I got another Primrose because the others did well and are still blooming, and a Day lily. I think that was it. I went to Joannes because I had hoped that they would have some more garden ornaments but they really didn't. I did find a fairy that I took and put on Alex grave. I also got an ornament for the garden, each were 70% off so that was not so bad. I need to get back to Alex and take a couple of plants for her. Her Day Lily's have not yet bloomed.
Checking on the rest of the garden, it's all coming along. The one where I put the Carnations needs to be widened. Just enough for the white flowers to have more room.
I did get that one cleaned out at least. I like being able to do one garden at a time. Makes me feel I have accomplished something.
I sat outside and drank my coffee this morning
This is so pretty, I will try to save it this Winter
When I first went out this morning I took a picture of my dead tree with it's fungi. I like it. I want to make this into a Fairy tree, paint or put on windows and doors and make a fairy garden around it. I had hoped to get Gerry to make it a roof.
The back shade gardens are coming along. It's a pity it takes so long for Hosta to come up and fill in. I know there are a lot of them still small. So I won't plant more. I am putting the ones I have left into pots. They get so much bigger quicker in pots. I didn't get them all in yet but at least I do have the potting soil now.
Iris budding. Trouble is the sprinkler has broken some down. Sad because one was the pretty white one.
I checked on the new rose and it's doing OK so far and I was happy to see the Lavender may actually do OK there too.
The Herb garden, doing well. You know I will never use half of them haha but it's a nice garden.
Back out front, I got one plant in the pot because nothing is coming up in that one. Who ever ate the Hosta really did eat it all. I managed to get the Lily plot cleaned up and I am leaving the violets there. I found and cleaned one of the plate ornaments I found in the garage. Put that in the ground.
Checked up on the flowers on the deck and they are flourishing
Seems things are coming along fine for the most part the hard work is done.
This little bee needed a helping hand. It was listless and just sitting in the ground and so I went and made some sugar water
He enjoyed and then crawled away have a good long life little bee.
This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.
