More baby tomatoes got to move into the greenhouse today before the storms came. It’s so much fun thinking of each of the great friends I’ve been able to trade with when I see their seeds growing here! These seeds have come from as close as an hour from here .. to as far away as Denmark .. how fun!
Everyone was HOT today.. Chucky made himself a canopy bed, Sunny D laid in the dirt, Obsidian didn’t stick around long and Flint wanted to sit on my lap. Freddy just looked angry and tired.. but we got a lot of stuff done outside and we didn’t get any more rain, thank goodness. 🌧️
I don’t read. Ever. It’s a waste of my time. I get distracted in my head and forget what I’ve read… UNLESS I’m learning something and it’s about plants or animals 😁 So someone recommended this book and I’m hooked. It’s pretty outside today and I should be out there doing something productive.. and I will be .. after just a few more pages… 🤞😊 plus I found it used at betterworldbooks.com for like $5!! 🥳🤩
I put the cover on the new clear greenhouse .. and put the little green one back together today 🤩💪 .. I’m not ready for cold weather but my plants will be. 💚
Two years ago, the first thing I grew in my aero garden was coleus. I put them in two big pots outside and they grew so huge!! I brought them inside for the winter and they came back last spring. Last winter, they were in the little greenhouse when the top blew off and it got so cold, they didn’t make it. 😔
Once it started to warm up, I started seeing little babies in all my other pots.. the ones that died planted their seeds everywhere before they left! These are a few of their babies. Now they’re blooming and making seeds of their own. ❤️💜💚
I’m pulling up peanuts and these tiny carrots today while I’m waiting to see tonight’s harvest moon. 🌝 🥜 🥕
The squirrels plant the peanuts for me every year so I’ll save some for them. 🐿️ 🤎
The kitties helped me collect spicebush seeds yesterday. Of course we left some for the birds. Lily was camouflaged in the leaves and Tiger was swinging from a vine like Tarzan. 🐈🐱😺
The squirrels are shaking the acorns out of the oak trees like crazy!! So I figured I’d collect a few tonight.. of course I left a ton for those crazy squirrels that steal seed from my birds.. that I secretly love.. let’s see if I can grow some oak trees! 🐿️🍂🤎 PS.. 5 of the kitties helped me.. I can’t do this all on my own 🐱🐈🐈⬛😻
Some people call them invasive weeds.. but I call morning glories beautiful garden flowers. I get to see them bloom for just part of a day but I love them. This is what the Bible tells us about morning glories:
God tells Moses and Aaron “in the morning, you shall see the glory of the LORD” (Exodus 16:7). What does the glory of the LORD look like? “Like a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground” (Exodus 16:14).
Since today is the first day of fall, I thought I’d better start getting ready. I put this greenhouse together yesterday .. just gotta put the cover on!
I Love Wildflowers
