Happy Mail



Happy mail hit the new mailbox. Anne, Teddy's personal photographer, from Anne's Creative Cornucopia sent me this hand-made envelope with a gorgeous  Medieval border.


Inside, a hand-made, seed packet with the tiniest seeds I have ever seen. From her garden, Anne sent me some Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart seeds.

She said the plants are a perennial and bloom from Spring to Fall. They are also pretty forgiving; they prefer a shady area to sun, but she says they will grow in the sun. 

A perennial, forgiving variety plant is helpful to a black thumb gardener as I am. In the Fall, I'll plant the seeds (Anne said her mom just sprinkled the seeds in the area she wanted to plant) under the Japanese maple. I'll have time to weed and amend the soil before sprinkling the seeds. The seeds will be able to Winter over (something they need to do) and will bloom next Spring. (I hope!)

Thanks Anne for the beautiful envelopes and the seeds.

    That is a beautiful envelope. And I have never seen bleeding heart seeds. You'll have to share the plants next spring with us so we can see how well they grow. Happy day. It is your kind of weather! Enjoy. Hugs-Erika

      The Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart seeds are tiny, like specs.

      Anne was very thoughtful. I like using the Ink stamp to cover up my address

    Okay, it did it to me again: I wasn't done writing, and the page refreshed. I wrote something like: I'm glad the envelope finally arrived and your mailbox was back in operation to receive it. I hope the seeds grow!! It's one of my favorite plants.
