Fertilizer Friday/ Flaunt Your Flowers May 30/14

Copy_of_001
WELCOME!

I am so glad you stopped by today.   I love Friday’s…it is the start of the weekend…and…Friday is a BIG day for us here at Tootsie Time…(ok, just me really…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!!!

I would like to invite each and every one of you to join in and share your photos...

I am sharing some of the photos I took of my yard just after I finished planting this week.   I am so proud to say that I planted every last plant that I had this year!   There isn't one flower left to go into the soil!!! 

Keep in mind that these photos are a few days old, but it has been rainy and windy the past couple days, and no one wants to see a waterlogged looking flower bed!   The ones from Tuesday will simply have to do!

BeFunky_022.jpg

Lets start in the front yard.   Here is the view from the street.

BeFunky_026.jpg

I love how the window boxes take some of the ‘boring’ off of the house…and add a little color to the white siding.

BeFunky_027.jpg

They are certainly filling in nicely so far!

BeFunky_017.jpg

The flower bed below the front room window.  The ninebark trees have now both succumbed to our harsh Alberta winters, so I had to take them out.   I decided to place my bird bath in that spot for now, as I am not sure what I want to try to grow there next!   The Iris plants seem to really enjoy it there.

BeFunky_041.jpg

The Bleeding Heart is up…and growing behind the bike, under the plant stand.   I hope the petunias and Geraniums I put in this bed hurry up and fill in!  I hate seeing the soil!!!

BeFunky_020.jpg

The piano area is looking full this spring already!   I decided to put one of the banana plants in behind the piano this year.  ( I needed the space in the greenhouse for my houseplants that are desperately waiting to get moved back out!)   I hope the wind doesn’t torture it too much!

BeFunky_023.jpg

My little hedge that was planted in the spring of 2012 is doing very well…nice and thick and healthy!

BeFunky_014.jpg

The little hedge that I planted last year in the cinder blocks is also doing just fine…It is amazing how hardy those cotton easter plants are!   I am loving the look of the Iris plants that are lining up along the side of the house!  Every year they just get better and better!


This is the sidewalk to the back yard…so I am sure you know where we are going next!

BeFunky_066.jpg

Yep!!!   The back yard!  

Watch carefully, and see if you can figure out WHERE the renovation that we did to the back yard is at!  Yep…the Cowboy helped me make some changes this spring!

BeFunky_064.jpg

The flower bed that I built last summer is filled with Geraniums and Marigolds.   I sure hope it fills in…I am not sure I like the mass planting that I thought I would try this year.     I also added a few tomato plants to this bed…yep…I said tomato!

BeFunky_051.jpg

The very first flower bed that was made in this yard is always the first one I plant.   I love the shape, and how it looks when it is full of blooming flowers!

BeFunky_060.jpg

The rhubarb is already getting VERY big…I am glad I left a bunch of space for it.

BeFunky_011.jpg

Here’s the greenhouse! 

I love this little space.  It just makes me want to go and sit in that little chair.   Unfortunately my ‘back end’ is just about too big for it.   haha…I hope to wear off some of the ‘cushion’ this summer!  (fingers crossed!)

Did you see the change that has taken place in the back yard yet?   Keep looking!!!   I am not going to reveal it to you today…but will share it in my next post!  I will say that it was a fairly big renovation, but well worth the effort so far!

While you are thinking about what looks very different in my gardens, why not sit with me a spell…

BeFunky_007.jpg

…out by the garden shed.  I will even let you take first pick of the chairs!

Well…that’s it for me…it’s your turn now…

So… GO….FLAUNT!

You know you wanna!

Until Next Time....Happy Gardening!

You guys have NO idea how much I appreciate you all…Thank you to the party linkers…and to those who just read.

I have not had one moment to sit and relax now since the new year started…and I must say I am pooped out!  
I am not really ready to be posting full time again just yet, but I am going to try to do a few posts here and there when I can.  
I am so happy to say that we have had some sensational weather this past week or two…and I have been planting like a maniac.   All the flowers that needed to be delivered to other houses, have been dropped off…and everyone who ordered them, is very pleased.
BeFunky_005.jpg

BeFunky_006.jpg

BeFunky_010.jpg
I had a full house this year, in spite of the fact that I planted much less than I normally do.   Perhaps it was those giant banana trees that are making it feel so full…lol
Lets take a look at what is blooming for me right now:
BeFunky_019.jpg
This is the look of the window boxes that I planted for the outside of the house.  They are loaded with Petunia and Bacopa in a mixture that is called healing waters.
BeFunky_020.jpg
The colors are all in the purples and blues…I wish there was a true blue Petunia on the market…that would be my favorite!
BeFunky_021.jpg
I adore this orange Geranium.   I planted several colors of them this year.
BeFunky_031.jpg
I love the details in this Petunia.
BeFunky_023.jpg

BeFunky_024.jpg
Just a few little ruffles!
BeFunky_040.jpg

BeFunky_027.jpg

BeFunky_028.jpg

BeFunky_030.jpg
Pansy’s are beautiful in any color…but this blue one is by far my favorite!
BeFunky_039.jpg
Lobelia is making an appearance this year.
BeFunky_038.jpg
It appears to be a lot roomier in the greenhouse right now…I really need a day to clean it up…and get some shade put in for the hot summer days ahead!
Well…that’s it for me…it’s your turn now…
So… GO….FLAUNT!
You know you wanna!

Until Next Time....Happy Gardening!
You guys have NO idea how much I appreciate you all…Thank you to the party linkers…and to those who just read.

Spring is finally starting to show up in this area!!!   There are puddles everywhere and the snow is getting lower and lower every day!   Warm temps and lots of sunshine are inspiring this gardener to get ready to play outside!  

Another busy week here in my house…greenhouse planting, work etc have made the days just zoom by! 

Take a peek at what I have going on in the greenhouse now:
BeFunky_unnamed.jpg
It is getting more and more full and greener and greener every day! 

 Geraniums are happily growing…
BeFunky_unnamedf.jpg
Petunias are getting their groove on…
BeFunky_unnamedr.jpg
Bacopa is getting ready to dance across the pots!

Things are growing along quite nicely in my greenhouse this week.   When I went in today to water, and try to get some pics, the smell in there was fantastic!   I just love the smell of a working greenhouse…don’t you?

My photos, are a little lacking in quality, the sunshine makes it hard to get great shots!  Oh well…maybe next week!

it’s your turn now…So GO….FLAUNT!

You know you wanna!

Until Next Time....Happy Gardening!

You guys have NO idea how much I appreciate you all…Thank you to the party linkers…and to those who just read.

Last week I mentioned that my greenhouse is up and running, and that I had to bring most of the tropical plants into the house to make space for the annuals.

 Well…today I am going to show you just how happy those tropicals were in the greenhouse…
BeFunky_029.jpg
This is a spider plant that I started my first year of college.   It is HUGE…the girth of this baby is about 4 feet across.   I had to put her into a bigger pot…and sadly I can no longer hang it.   So…for now it will sit on the little folding chair that it is on…I need to make a new arrangement in my living room for all of the houseplants…this house does not offer a lot of light for plants, so they need to be close to the picture window. 

There are so many plants in the window right now that you can’t even see some of them…lol
BeFunky_008.jpg
Here is another example of the huge growth spurt that my plants took over the last few months.  Yep…it’s huge too.   (I totally do not mind!)
BeFunky_007.jpg
This ponytail palm was 1/2 it’s size when I last shared it with you guys.   I am sure that there was some sort of magic growing powder snuck into the greenhouse …lol   If this keeps up…I won’t be able to lift them anymore…or keep them all.   (I need to make room for my family too ya know!)

The cats LOVE all the plants being in the house again.   They are playing jungle all the time!   I don’t enjoy that game as much as they do…they seem to always make a mess of something!  lol

Well…that’s all I have to share this week.   I have a million things still on my list for today, and the rest of the week is not much better!   I wish I could stretch time as easily as I can grow plants…OR that I could clone myself, and have one of me to just play on the computer all day…I’d be visiting every single one of you every day!…But…alas…there is one of me, and I do not have magic powers…so everyone will just need to be patient.   Real life comes first…online fun has to wait.

It’s your turn now…So GO….FLAUNT!

You know you wanna!

Until Next Time....Happy Gardening!

Fertilizer Friday/ Flaunt Your Flowers Feb. 21/14


Copy_of_001
Welcome!!! 

I am so glad you stopped by today.   I love Friday’s…it is the start of the weekend…and…
Friday is a BIG day for us here at Tootsie Time…(ok, just me really…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!!!

I would like to invite each and every one of you to join in and share your photos...

Another crazy busy week has come and gone already and here we are…embarking on the weekend again!   I am amazed at how fast the weeks are going by…and how much I always have on my list to do!  I will be in shock if the day ever comes that I have nothing to do…and will more than likely end up in a funk because I don’t know how to NOT be busy!

I am happy to be able to join the party again this week!   I got to spend a few hours in the greenhouse, and have managed to clean up the huge mess that I had going in there…and I planted the Petunias!   Well…most of them anyways.   It takes a long time to make space in a very messy, crowded little room…a lot of my tropical plants had to be walked from the greenhouse to the house so that I have space to plant the annuals!   Lucky for me, the weather had taken a turn for more milder temps this week, and I could bring a few more inside until the spring comes and I plant all the gardens.  Needless to say, my house looks like a jungle right now.   (not that I mind)   I need to find a way to give all the plants enough light until they go back to the greenhouse…this house is NOT plant friendly!

Here’s what’s going on in the greenhouse right now:
BeFs1
I still have a few tropical plants in the greenhouse…but not too many…just enough to make a tropical feel…which is a MUST when you live in a winter wonderland!
BeFunky_dgh.jpg
SOME of the plants need a serious hair cut before they get to come to the house…this one is very happy I here…and is almost touching the floor!
BeFunky_fe.jpg
My old geranium is blooming again…yay!
BeFunky_m.jpg
I love how healthy most of the leaves are on my plants right now.   I did have some damage happen to a few things when the temps dipped very low in here a few weeks back…I don’t ever want to have that happen again!
BeFunky_r.jpg
 
BeFunky_tsr.jpg
This guy…well I am going to hold out as long as I can before I bring it into the house.   It hates it in the house…and is looking so good right now…it would be a shame to set it back!  
BeFunky_unnamed.jpg
I planted quite a few trays so far!   Not even close to being done…but it certainly is a good start!
BeFunky_hh.jpg
My babies are having babies!   yay!   I am planning to put spider plants into my annual pots again this year.  I loved how nicely they all looked mixed with the annuals last summer!   I am glad it turned out so well.   I have a hard time throwing out cuttings if I know they would be able to grow…so now I have a good reason to root them all!  hee hee!!! 

Well…That’s all for this Toots for this week.  Maybe…just maybe…if I get lucky, I will have something to share with you guys next week too!

It’s your turn now…So GO….FLAUNT!

You know you wanna!

Until Next Time....Happy Gardening!
