Friday is a BIG day for us here at Tootsie Time…(ok, just me…there is no one else here…lol) It’s a big deal because it means it’s PARTY TIME!!!!
Fertilizer Friday is the day of the week than an ELITE group of gardeners from all around the world get together , snap photos, link up and Flaunt Their Flowers!!!
If you are new to Tootsie Time and Fertilizer Friday, I just know you are asking yourself…”How do I join?” Well…it’s easy really. Here’s all you need to know to become a part of this great group of gardeners, bloggers and friends:
If it is spring or summer where you live, you need to snap a few photos of what you have growing, blooming or just love to look at that is of the plant variety…if it is winter where you live, you may post past favorite photos…or indoor plants…whatever you like. The only criteria is that it is a plant or something growing!
You do not need to use fertilizer to participate in this party, but if you do, this is the reminder to fertilize weekly!
All I ask is that: Your post must include the logo above and/or a link to Tootise Time, or the linky will be deleted. I don’t mean to be harsh, but there have been a lot of people linking in and when the participants graciously click over to their blogs, there is no sign of Fertilizer Friday anywhere to be found. This is not fair to those who do follow the rules, therefore…well you know!
So? what are you waiting for? Get outside, feed, water, snap and post!
It was a busy week here in Central Alberta…as usual. The sun was out and we were all so happy to see the snow slowly burning off and disappearing. It was wonderful to see spring finally coming to our area.
The grass was showing through and we were almost ready to pull out the rakes and try to deal with the patches of snow mold that are left on the lawn…when…
….THIS HAPPENED!!!!
Yep! A spring storm hit us and overnight we got more SNOW! (yep…I said the ‘S’ word!) Hopefully it stops snowing soon…and melts off so we can get back to playing in the mud and driving fast through the puddles!
I didn’t get much time in the greenhouse except to water, as there was a lot of other chores and things to tend to…but I did take a few shots of the progress my flowers are making.
I absolutely love seeing the shelves full of green leaves and new growth!
I have more blooms!!! This one is a purple wave petunia.
This is a blue wave petunia…
I think it’s funny how they call hot pink –purple…and royal purple…blue…but hey…that’s the way it is!
That is all that is new with me…so I am ready to get to the good part! I want to see what you are flaunting this week!!! Inspire me!!! Dazzle me!!! I just can’t wait to see!!!
I’m ready to visit…so link in and share!!! See you there! Thank you all for linking in…and leaving a comment!
Until next time, hugs and smiles…wishes of a safe and happy weekend with friends and family….and of course…happy gardening!
*)*)*)…to those fabulous three who give my life such a great charge! You know who you are!!! luv to luv ya!

Hey, for once, I have my post ready as soon as you posted. I'm not often early.
Am I seeing right--do you use vertical blinds inside your greenhouse? If so---very very clever! When I used to have a small greenhouse, I hung "sheers" from the ceiling to cut down on the sun. It worked okay, but blinds would be better!
That is a wonderful sight seeing all of your plants growing, soon, soon!

Your green house is very impressive. I think this is the great way to have a gardening winter for the folks in the norther part. I love waving petunia. They did fine for me during our winter (I am in south Florida), but now they are all wilting away with the 80+ temperature.
Also, did you see my post? The Genius left for Korea Tuesday. The Army says she will be there for 18 months....sigh.
Love ya~ J
I haven't got any flowers on my latest post - but it is all about compost!!!
Love ya!!
I love planting and taking care of my flowers
I do have an Easter Lily my neighbor gave me because my best friend my little pug Sissy died last Sunday.
I finally remembered to join in again, I've been so busy with life I lose track of what day of the week it is :)
Luving the petunias. I planted the wave this year. 1st time I remembered to get them before they were all sold out.

No matter how many times I see your greenhouse, I am always in awe!!! It is amazing! Your hard work definitely pays off. I hate you are getting snow, but warmer days are ahead
Your greenhouse is amazing! I posted a few pics of my puny petunias, wow, do mine have a LONG way to go to catch up to yours. That reminds me, I better go and mix up some fertilizer. Hope you have a great weekend and thank you for hosting the FF!
