My mother in law is quite a gardener. I have proof..
I think this is a Mandvilla..
How would you like to sit here and read a book?
Isn’t this cute?
I wrote a whole blog about this front door one time..
(I have issues..)
Here’s #4 hanging out on the front porch.. don’t you
love the fern? I think she feeds them something to make
them grow that large..
When I grow up.. I want to be a gardener just like her.. or
maybe I can get #1 to do it 😉
My favorite flower is a poppy. I love the colors..
I love the weird leaves that seem prickly, but aren’t.
Have you ever seen the poppy pod up-close?
It looks pretty cool, green with a funny red and purple.
See the “funny hairs”?
I love how the leaves and stems look like they could take on a
tornado.. and the flowers seem so fragile.
Here’s one that is about to open.
Don’t you love them? I do.. 🙂
Last year my garden wasn’t quite as full as it is this year.
You should know I am not really a gardener.. #1 does all my planting
for me. We have 40 acres here.. but we’ve started small.. and are just
trying to conquer around the humble abode.
My garden is done in pink, purple and reds (if you couldn’t tell.)
This is a honeysuckle plant I bought last year.. It
was really tiny. I am amazed at how much it has grown.
When it’s open.. it’s so pretty.. (it’s not open yet)
My Mothers Day weekend started out with a trip to Enright Gardens and Sandcreek Nursery We loaded up the car and headed out.
Because my children have figured out that I am going to blog about them, they have become a bit surly when I tell them I want to take their photo. (note #1 and #3 aren’t doing it.. just the boys). I also love how #1 is sucking up in her “employee of the month” t-shirt.
Enright Gardens.. fabulous!
#2’s finger being eaten by a snapdragon
Their Baskets are BEAUTIFUL!
I love old rusty metal things to put in my garden.
#4 feels we need a cart for our purchases
Yes.. I randomly accost The Man and kiss him my children think this is a combination of gross and funny. I’m not sure what The Man thinks about it.
I forgot to take a photo of my loot from Enrights.. But I promise.. I got some FABULOUS stuff.. I’ll take photos of it when I get it planted.
From here we moved to Sandcreek nusery. I lost my my mojo to take photos at Sandcreek.. but my kids came through…
Here’s #5 he thought I needed some yellow mums for Mother’s Day.
The Man explaining to his children to get out of the rocks.. don’t you love the man’s socks? That’s all him baby.
#1 and #3 thought I needed this rose bush. This photo doesn’t do this rose bush justice. This rose was about 6 inches across.
#2 and his mother.. he’s never embarrassed to hold his mother’s hand
See the bumble bee?
