Welcome to Fertilizer Friday! Today is the day I remind you all to feed your houseplants and gardens with your fertilizer of choice. After you have fertilized those plants and given them that kick in the roots to start a beautiful show of foliage and blooms, I challenge and invite you all to snap some photos and flaunt your flowers! All you have to do is grab the photo above, and link your post back to me. You also need to sign yourself in to the mister linky at the bottom of this post!Before we get started, there is a campaign that I think is worthy of all our attention. Cancer of any kind is a horrible life changing thing. It needs to be cured. I know a special blogger or two that are fighting this disease with dignity and grace and have inspired and amazed me with their brave spirit. Please take this button below and put it in your sidebars. It will link you to a special place to donate or get more information. Also...please look HERE for information about a blooms for the cure campaign that will knock your socks off! Proven winner color choice will be donating $1.00 for each Invincible Spirit Hydrangea sold towards the cause. I know I am going to look for this plant to support this campaign...hey...any excuse to plant shop is a good one...but this one is even better!
Here's the button...

I am so envious - your gardens are awesome! My few annuals have fizzled under the heat and I didn't replant anything to replace them because it's too darned hot to dig in the garden. Oh well...
I don't even know if I have anything to show this week, I'll have to check!
Gorgeous!!!
Enjoy!!!
XOXO

Girl, your flower gardens are spectacular!!! I've never seen so many different kinds of flowers and such beautiful vibrant color!!! It's simply divine! I can't even begin to imagine all the planning and work that is involved with this...Ohhh myyy!!! I am terrible with yard/garden work...you noticed, I called it work! Hehe!

If I posted twice, sorry. But I think I just lost the message the first time.
You have an excellent taste for the decoration of gardens.

Steve says hello to my blog friend. Enjoy the boat this week end. Nati and my son in law with children are boating too today. They will be her tomorrow.
Yeah, I know what you mean about fb. Really, you need to be careful about any information you leave (including blogging and even comments).
Osteospermum! What a beautiful color!
I really like the Osteospermums very nice!
I am posting to Mr. Linky late, but I used your great tip about an inexpensive liner for my window box and wanted to let you know. It is also running on Met Monday and Thrifty Treasures. I included a link back to your site. You always inspire me and I love viewing your amazing gardens, thank you.

Just wanted to pop over and say thank you for the visit the other day and for the sweet thoughts and comment. I too am so behind in visiting blogs and hopefully will be able to start getting caught up SOON*!
Sending you some love and hugs*!!! _Ashley*
