💜 Coleus babies 💚
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. ❤️💜💚
🌝 Last night’s Full Harvest Moon 🌝
🤩 The last super moon of 2023 🤩
🌕 This final supermoon is called the Harvest Moon in the northern hemisphere because it occurs close to the September equinox.
🌕 When people were harvesting by hand, this bright supermoon helped light up the evening after the Sun went down, which gave some much-needed extra time to get the harvest in before winter.
🥜 Peanuts and tiny carrots 🥕
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. 🐿️ 🤎
💚 Collecting seeds with the kitties ❤️
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. 🐈🐱😺
🍂 Acorns 🤎🐿️
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 🐱🐈🐈⬛😻
Waking stick bug
I saw a walking stick today.. first one I’ve seen in a while! He is so camouflaged that the kitties don’t even see him. They keep walking right past him .. I’m pretty sure he is proud of how well he blends in.
💜🤍 Wildflower Sunday 🤍💜
💜 Slender False Foxglove and Hairy Aster 🤍
When I bought this property in Oct 2021.. I scattered SOOOO many wildflower seeds.. all I wanted was a huge space for pollinators .. I quickly realized they already had lots of native plants growing wild here.. the more the merrier.. I have no idea if these grew from seed I tossed or if they were here already but either way.. I just love wildflowers.
My only problem was sunlight.. the whole 5.84 acres was wooded. We hate cutting native trees .. that’s where the birds and butterflies live!!.. so we cut just enough to grow a veggie garden and a few flowers.
Recently we’ve had to cut trees for the electric company and septic .. it makes me want to die!!! My goal is to replant everything we have to cut down and more. 💜💜💜💜
💙 Good morning, morning glories! 💜
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).
🍁 Fall 🍂
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
