Flaunt Your Flowers Friday! July 18/14

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!!!

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 Tootsie Time, or the linky will be deleted

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 and here we are again gathering to strut our stuff!

Unfortunately I have not had time to come visit you all much yet....and I apologize for that.

I am going to be away much of the next two weeks, so may not have much to flaunt, but I will have the party ready to go for you all to flaunt. 

I am sharing my greenhouse today!   I haven’t shown the inside of her for a while and decided that it is about time the jungle got a show!
BeFunky_089.jpg
I needed to make shade again this year for the summer months in the greenhouse.   I usually use a cheap bed sheet, but decided that if I could figure out something that I could take down and re-use, I would be much happier.   Bed sheets rot in the sun…and ended up in the trash every fall…so…I came up with a different idea.

I am so pleased with the way this turned out…it gives just enough protection from the hot sun that the plants are happy to just grow and grow all over in the greenhouse now. 

What did I use???
BeFunky_088.jpg
I used plain old black window screen! 

Yep…I had a bunch of it sitting in storage, and no use for it…so I took that huge roll…and just pinned it up in rows across the beams of the ceiling!
 
It works like a charm!
BeFunky_083.jpg
Everything is growing like crazy in here this year…this is my Jade…she just got another new pot…it comes clear up to my hip now!   I am so happy with how big it is!
BeFunky_084.jpg
This is the rest of the jungle of plants I have in the greenhouse…I adore each and every one of them!
BeFunky_087.jpg
These are babies that are almost ready to go to new homes…hey…I can’t just prune and toss…if it can be rooted in this greenhouse…it is!
BeFunky_082.jpg
There is not one single place that gives me as much peace and satisfaction as my greenhouse.  Here is where I can go and just be me.

Okay…it’s your turn…I am off to do some weeding, mowing, sewing, painting, or something that I need to finish doing!   Have a great week…I hope to be around to flaunt, but may be away…so you may need to party with out me!   This is the day to do it!

Until Next Time…Happy Gardening!

BOY IS MY FACE RED!

 I totally forgot to publish my Friday post last week…and here I am feeling like a goof!  So…I will save those photos for another week, and show you what I have today.

We have had some nasty storms here this summer…LOTS of rain…and last night was no exception.  However, last night, there was a little bit of wind…
BeFunky_003.jpg
…and one of the beloved old trees at Grammie and Grampie’s house hit the street.   Yes…we were called to help cut up and remove this HUGE 100+ year old tree in the middle of a thunderstorm.   It was blocking the entire street and it had to be moved right away.
BeFunky_012.jpg
Poor Grampie…he looked so disappointed that the tree had fallen.  It was hollow at the base, and just fell down!
BeFunky_017.jpg
One of us, seemed to think it was quite the adventure…she got to be outside in the rain…and that is just TOO much fun!
Because of that storm, my yard is looking like it is in hiding.  
BeFunky_058.jpg
I take all the hanging pots down in big storms…so they are at least a little protected from the wind, and hail, and whatever else Mother Nature throws at us.
BeFunky_059.jpg
Looks different with nothing hanging around!  lol
I have some exciting blooms coming into my garden this week…
BeFunky_061.jpg
I planted a few climbing rose bushes this year…and they are getting ready to bloom!!!   Yay!   Here is the bud of one…it is so pretty!
BeFunky_073.jpg
There are lots of pretty blues popping open too!
BeFunky_075.jpg
I love these little guys!   They are very small…but make a sweet little statement.  Brachycomb is their name.
BeFunky_108.jpg
These lime petunias are awful cheerful in the basket with the blue ones…this mixture is called blueberry jam!   I like it!
BeFunky_078.jpg
I love the intricacy of Dahlia blooms!
BeFunky_037.jpg
Last but not least…My 9 year old took this close up of the tiger lilly in the front yard…how pretty is this? 

And…that is it for me this week.   That means it’s your turn again!

So? 

What are you waiting for??? 

Flaunt! 

Flaunt like you have never Flaunted before!

I can’t wait to see!

Until Next Time…Happy Gardening!

*)*)*)…Word to the wise: Make sure your words are sweet, because one day you may have to eat them!

Since last we met, we have had almost 4 inches of rain fall on us.   One or two sunny days were all we got to see…the rest…gray, drab and wet.   I have to admit, that I was a little relieved that the weather was crummy, because I do have a lot of work to do with my little company, and I am moving very slowly lately.   I need surgery on both of my arms to fix them so that they work without pain, and I have had some other health issues plaguing me lately, ( that have totally drained the extra energy out of this Tootsie)  …so with the weather being glum, I didn’t feel like I had to be doing things outside as well as inside.
I did take a little time out during those sunny days and make some slight improvements to my garden…but for the most part, it all looks pretty much the same.   So…I walked around to see if anything looked good enough to share…as most of it looks pretty waterlogged.   Did I mention that we got just over an inch and a half of rain yesterday?   A full inch of that fell in less than an hour!  Things look soggy.   Lol.  

BeFunky_009.jpg
I took my favorite snuggle bug with me.  This is Marty.   He was SO sad and pathetic in the house, that I caved, and let him come outside and help me for a little bit.   He is 26 or more pounds…so I am not afraid he will go too far…He mostly just stays right close by (just in case he can sneak a hug and a smooch or two)
BeFunky_110.jpg
Remember this pic from last week?   Take a GOOD look…and see if you can tell me what needed to be altered a bit.  Can you see it???   I know I certainly can…I have been ‘seeing’ it for a while now.BeFunky_010.jpg
Yep…that table needed to be painted to blend in with the chairs a bit better!   I had been wanting to find some white iron chairs…but haven’t seen any…So I decided that until I get rid of the set of chairs that I already have, I may as well make a little adjustment to the table.   It needed to be painted anyways…I don’t want it to get rusted out too bad.   I also took out some of the pots…and placed them elsewhere.
BeFunky_003.jpg
I finished up a little weeding…I especially do not love this flower bed.   I need to fix the shape of it…but not this year…The pain in my arms and hands is too much as it is.  Maybe next year!
BeFunky_026.jpg
I planted a couple of roses this year…and one of them is almost ready to bloom!!!
BeFunky_023.jpg
The last photo I am sharing with you today is another hint as to the big change Cowboy helped me make this spring…have you figured it out yet????   Look closely!
With that little challenge I am finished my flaunt for this week.   I hope you enjoyed the little tour…and will be flaunting with me this week!
It’s your turn!!!   Go!   GET YOUR FLAUNT ON!
Until Next Time…Happy Gardening!

I hope you have a beverage and possibly a snack, cuz I have a lot to share this week, since I didn’t get to share for the last couple parties!!!  

It FINALLY stopped raining here this afternoon, and I grabbed my gloves and pulled a LOT of weeds from my flower beds.
 BeFunky_011.jpg  I managed to get all of the front yard and part of the back yard done.   Chick Weed is NOT my friend…and it seems to love my gardens.  

At one point I was thinking that it would be less work to leave the chick weed and pull everything else.   It was NOT pretty…but, I did managed to get most of it out.   If you know Chick Weed, you know that it is never gone…one little root left behind, means a whole new plant in a few days…ugh.
I got most of my weeds pulled, and mowed the lawn, then took some photos before it got too dark outside, and here I am…ready to share!
BeFunky_187.jpg
It is stampede week here in Wainwright Alberta…and for some reason that means we are doomed to a lot of rain…it happens almost every year…hahaha…just the luck of the draw I guess…so when the sun shines and dries things up just a little bit…we jump.   It sounded like a symphony of lawn mowers and weed eaters this evening in my neighborhood.   Everyone had the same thought as me…do it now…’cuz it will probably rain again tomorrow… : )   It has been a very chilly spring, and things are taking their sweet time to grow…well…except for the weeds.
BeFunky_157.jpg
In order to keep this as short as possible…I will not be commenting on each photo…I am sure they will speak for themselves.
