Fertilizer Friday is the day when gardeners from all over the world join in and share the blooms of their labors!
If you are new to this party...WELCOME!!! If you are a regular...WELCOME BACK! Anyone can post plants of any kind...you are all welcome...the more the merrier!
Now...if you are not familiar with the winter rules here...you will be...since I have ZERO to share...my gardens are bare...I (and other gardeners in similar climates) are sharing our favorite photos from months, gardens, years gone by, or the current indoor gardens and houseplants that they have. Those who have real live beauty to share are doing just that!
I would like to add, that if you are not a fertilizer...you may still join in. The name Fertilizer Friday actually was coined to remind those of us who like to feed our greens, but forget! Fertilizing is not a must...but the flaunting...IS!
Please Publish the Fertilizer Friday Logo at the top of this post, and link into the mister linky list below. If you do not do this, you may not get as many "tourists" visiting your Friday post.
Today I have much to share. I have been working my little fingers to the bone, and have seen some SPRING in my garden.
The Wandering Jew is blooming!!! Yippie!!! I have never coaxed one of these into bloom before…I am super excited!!!
There were three spots that I found that had some blooms on them…it took forever to get a shot, as they only stay open a very short while…
They close up within hours of first bud!
Things are popping up all over the yard. I have few perennials, but those I do have are waking up.
Lilac is getting ready to burst!
I think this one actually may make a second appearance this year! I thought it was dead.
I was so excited to see a little green grass…
Until I turned around…and saw this! EWE!!! Well…we best be fixin that!
So out comes the lawn mower…the thatch blade gets installed…and we are off to the races!!!
A few sweeps later and the dead grass was flying…just laying there waiting to get picked up…
What a HUGE difference! And that was just the first sweep! Nothing was even picked up yet…like the difference between good and evil!
I go first up and down…then lower the blade again and go side to side…then I remove the thatch blade…and pick it up! I think the garbage man is going to resume his nasty looks at me when he comes next week. haha…he doesn’t like my yard waste much…too many bins! well..sucks to be him! Oh my what a lot of work…I am exhausted…especially since before I started this grass project…
I ran my a$$ off out in the alley teaching my “Busy” to ride her bike with no training wheels!!!! I think my baby is growing up…and blooming!
Thank you to 'Georgie' for taking such great shots of the garden and ignoring directions not to shoot shots of me! haha...it seems that I can never be clean when I am featured in my own blog! Honest...I do shower! haha
So? what’s happening in your garden? Snap some shots, ADD THE ‘FF’ LOGO TO YOUR POST, link into the linky below and flaunt with me! Can’t wait to see!

Just looking at all the things you have growing makes me want to go out and play in the dirt!
The itch is getting under the skin...let's play in the dirt!

It will be cause DH puts all his hunting and fishing remains (stinky stuff) into the trash. And you know by the time the GM come how stanky it is!
I hope you have lots of flowers on your lilacs this Spring!

LOOK AT YOU GO GIRL in the yard! ((HUGS)))
BTW, When my oldest was learning to ride a bike (and it was taking forever) I threw her and my husband outside and told them they could not come in until she could ride a bike. That definitely sped up the process. :-)

They grow up so fast Glenda. My son is going to be 25 this year, wow where did the years go. He hopes to buy his own house this year.

It's at the point of spring here, where there are new things coming up and new things blooming every day. I love it!
Enjoyed your blooms and vicariously watching you mow your lawn.
