A little gardening post.

New additions:

  • More Dianthus
  • Hydrangea 
  • Ann-Marie Lantana
  • Purple Lantana
  • VEGETABLES: Four tomato plants and three bell peppers
  • Even fruit! Three cantaloupe vines

I discovered the name of the mysterious orange flower of which I had posted a picture. It’s called a strawflower, native of Australia. Everything is doing amazingly well. I moved my snapdragon seedlings into the egg cartons because there were so many so close together and if I allowed them to develop further together, their roots would intertwine so tightly, there would be no separating them. Hopefully they will enjoy their individual spaces.

Also, my aunt Barbara had given me four cuttings from her 21 year old Schefflera. After being in water for about a month, all four have developed roots and are now in pots. I hope they live! It would be so sentimentally sweet to have that part of something my aunt loves.

Another gardening post. I truly intended to plant vegetable seeds this year. And I still may do that. But I couldn’t resist the 4/$1 flower seeds yesterday. :) My weekend has been so wonderful. I love home so much. The knowledge that I have to drive those 200 miles and start all over again with another week of purgatory is making my stomach as twisty, knotty. Antiques with my mom, lunch downtown on a floral tablecloth, dinner with my grandparents and their stories that fill the heart with love, sowing seeds in the sun with sweat under my braid. This is where my heart resides.

Here are about 80% of the flowers I am caring for this year. The bakers rack has snapdragons, various non-flowering but equally lovely green plants, petunias, and the most curiously-coloured violet. On the ground and to the sides are an orange hibiscus that is not yet bloomed and a bright fuchsia geranium. Lining the bricks are alternating purslane and dianthus. Not pictured are several various growing things, but my true babies are two hibiscuses I’ve had for three or four years now. I originally planted them in the corner of the fence row where one has significantly outdone the other. This year I transplanted the weaker of the two into a very large pot and placed it in the sun. In two weeks it has grown four or five stems twelve inches high. Warms my heart. I will certainly be updating as new things bloom and flourish.
