A bit of a surprise arrived at my mailbox on Wednesday..

Thank You Misi! for my lovely prizes and graciously hosting the weekly chain!

all they need is some pruning and fertilizer

  2. I have the same problem when I go to the nurseries too..the plants call my name and want to come home with me. I am almost maxed out here at home for plants. However, we do have 6 acres that we own rurally and will be starting to separate and transplant some perennials along our driveway embankment.

    Hope your hubby has a spectacular birthday. Enjoy the holiday.

  6. Wow! Just a great post! I love all the pots you created, I can't resist extra plants either. Your sweetie did great with the signs, they are so cute! I had a real "duh" moment looking at that tomato cage pot holder, I've been trying for months to figure out where to put some pots I have without sitting them on the ground, which would then fill with ants here! Now I know, so this afternoon I will pull out the old cages and get those pots filled! Thanks for the great post! God Bless America! Happy 4th!

  7. Love your new header - Those indigo buntings just fascinate me! And your plants look like they're thriving!! I love this time of year when (usually) I have all my plants planted and then I can just pick up the fun little "extras" knowing exactly where they're going and what I can do with them. Unfortunately, the weather here this year put so far behind I didn't get the herbs, veggies or flowers I usually do and wanted, and can't find them anywhere anymore. Gonna be a sparse season for plants around the Crows' nest! Love your garden markers! Maygan did great with the lettering! Happy b-day to your hubby! Hope you enjoy your busy holiday weekend!
