Gardening Buddy........💚








The planter that Miss V and I did last week...

Is looking glorious!!

Thank goodness she is such a thoughtful and careful gardener...

The few Scillia and Daffodils I had, are long gone...

And...this planter is reviving our gardening spirits...

Such beautiful colourful Flowers...

Such an abundance of new buds and blooms...

Lets hear it for The Greenhouse!! {aka the flower store}

Miss V and I have decided that next week...

We shall visit again...and...bring home some more loveliness...

To adorn our lives...so fulfilling!

And...I must say...Those RUSTY..PINKY...MAUVEY Osteospermum...

Are simply divine!!

Those darn COSMOS aren't too shabby either!!

Miss V's pot of White Cosmos are doing great...

And...she gave them a big drink...and filled the birdbath as well...

Unfortunately I think her Sunflowers are toast...:o(

But....her Pumpkins are looking outstanding!

Will grab a photo of those to show you....

I think we will put some more Sunflower seeds in the pots...

And hope for the best!!

   


And...not to disappoint...

The obligatory Dandelion blow....♥️♥️♥️  {look at that face♥️}  {and lipstick}

 

Hope you are all having a great day...

    Very nice day here...sunny and warm...

      Started a new crochet project...loving it so far...

             

                 

             Packed for the cottage...

                  Not going to be a very good weekend weatherwise...but...

                          We will take what we can get,eh??

                              Enjoy your evening and weekend...

                                      Cheers!  :o)

  3. Good that Miss V shares your love of plants and you are giving her a real and lasting grounding in matters botanical. No doubt you are teaching her the names as well . . . :)
    Hope the weather improves for you at the cottage . . . and have a lovely weekend . . . :)

  6. Many, many years from now when Miss Vivian is grown up and had grandchildren of her own she will tell them about how *you* taught her to garden. ;-)

  7. That is what I should be doing with those crazy grandkids of mine!
    Maybe when I come home I'll put them to work in the dirt.

  8. Linda what great memories you are creating with Miss V.
    I think cosmos give so much bang for the buck. So many seeds to keep for the next year. So easy to care for.
    A trip to a "flower store" is so therapeutic I think. Well maybe not for my bank account but for me personally!!!!

  11. Linda, that Osteospermum is gorgeous! I bought 2 yellow ones last week and they've been in the garage and I forgot to put them outside the past 3 days when it was warm. DUH! Miss V looks so sweet watering the plants and blowing the dandelion. I hope the weather isn't too off at the cottage. I know we have rain coming for the next few days. xo Pam

  12. Sweet "gardening buddy." We visited your favourite gardening centre last week, thanks for the recommendation. Love Miss V.'s pigtails, she's a cutie. Hope you didn't freeze at the cottage. Meeting friends at a film fest this afternoon, good place to be in this cool weather. Have a good week...

  14. Sweet, sweet pictures, Linda! You have a wonderful little helper there and I am absolutely sure that Miss V is going to be an avid gardener all her life! Cosmos are one of my very favorite flowers...so blowzy!!

    I really hope you had good weekend at your cottage. We are very cold here (40's) and the sun teases. I bought some flowers Friday, planted a few pots before the back said, "Enough!", and now I pray the bit I have left will not wilt or die. Warming up thankfully.

    Have a wonderful week, Linda!!!
