Cultivating a Green Thumb





This is what I've been up to lately, and I've had such a grand time doing it! These are only a few of the things I've planted. I've also planted knock-out roses, gardenias, a yuletide camelia bush, tomatoes, oregano, rosemary, parsley, blueberry bushes, jessamine, coreopsis, lantana, lady banks roses, peonies, phlox, pinks... the lists goes on. It has been glorious!
I love the spring!

Very fun! I wanna hear how those blueberry bushes go. We haven't been able to get any to grow around here.

I'm wondering if I need to put in another variety. I've read that before... and of course you need at least two to pollenate. You probably already know they take three years before they bear fruit (though mine already have berries. go figure.) ; )

WHAT??? three years!! I didn't know that part. More is always better:))

Well, this is a miracle..or should I say perhaps a different season? ha! I remember planting a bunch of stuff for you years ago and you asking me, "now why do I need to spend $100? on PLANTS?" HAA!! These are just gorgeous and fun that your new season of life has given you time to plant these little bits of heaven (in my mind)...I just love flowers and how they immitate a teeny portion of God's love to us. Great job buddy!!

Some of these plants are the same kind you planted for me at that first house. Ahhhh.... memories. : ) (I, too, remember griping about the cost. I've griped about the cost this time too... but not as much as Johnboy! lol)
