How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

Ink's garden cleaned up and some of Reggie's Morning Glory seeds directly planted into the soil. Hopefully, they will come up.


A hornet stops to get a sip of water


A field of dreams and not a single bee


A lonely buttercup


Lily of the Valley



Dandelions. The only flower that represents the Sun


the Moon


and the Stars


Wishes




Flowers in the rail boxes


and at the mailbox


A Japanese Maple sapling. I dug it up and put it in a small pot


A beautiful sunset

  1. In all my days CJ i never thought of dandelions that way.. Now i will for the rest of my days... wonderful thought.. I once told my sister in law that her yard full of dandelions was a field full of wishes...She didn't see it that way and just wanted the weeds gone...lol

    1. Last week, I read something on Facebook that remarked on dandelions and heavenly bodies. I thought it was charming.

  2. Fabulous photos and love the description of the dandelions, so fitting. My potted plants are doing well, the seeds I planted are all being eaten as they sprout! Valerie

    1. Oh, no. Poor little sprouts. At least, someone is enjoying them

  3. Your garden is looking great, except it is sad to hear there are not bees. Maybe someone is spraying lots of insecticides nearby. I need to plant my flowers; hopefully later this week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    1. It was rather a surprise all those dandelions and not a single bee.

    1. I'm sure my neighbors aren't as thrilled with my field of dreams 😺

  5. Your flowers are wonderful, and I love the dandelions. I've never had them show up on my patio, maybe because of the violet take-over. Will you keep the Japanese Maple in a pot? My potted trees are thriving (so far, anyway).

  6. My "garden" as in balcony-flower-beds jumped!
    I have no idea what is growing there, so far it´s but green. Let´s see! Maybe no need to buy expensive flowers from the nursery :-)

  7. Your garden looks lovely CJ! What a nice variety of spring blooms. I love the dandelions. We used to call those blowy flowers as kids.

  9. Happy Dance! Love this post! Everything is looking so beautiful! I'm having lots of Lily of the Valley too! I so love what you write about dandelions! On my next post, I am going to have to link this post to mine, if you don't mind!! I've transplanted 2 trees I have found so far and I have just found another. It looks like some kind of lavender bush?? I will find out, when I dig it out! LOL! Big Hugs!
