i just love the brightness, cheerfulness, and how beautiful they look in pretty pots. it's a weakness. just like butterscotch sundaes. i guess i get it from my mom. she is a wonderful gardener who LOVES flowers. the difference between us is that my mom can make anything grow and bring the dead back to life.....and i can't keep a house plant alive. i think last summer, in one pot, i went through 2 ferns and 2 palms. it's kind of sad. again, shad says it's sad for his pocket book.
this weekend my parents were here, and of course we had to go to coleman's nursery. my dad has never been and we were excited to show him around all the greenhouses. mom helped me pick out a bunch of flowers to pot, shad found me a cherry tree, and i got a few things for our garden.
so we have been a little busy this past week planting our garden! this year we are having a big garden! we have okra, red onions, white onions, potatoes, two types of cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, jalapenos, cheyenne peppers, bell peppers, banana peppers, two types of beans, squash, garlic, and i know i'm missing a few things! we are also having watermelon, blueberries, and blackberries (there wild and ivory's responsibility to guard)! Shad and his brother are having a pumpkin growin' contest......... so hopeful we will have a giant pumpkin too.
