Gardening, anyone?

Jazzy,

Lovely blooms!

I went to pick sunflowers today

Teka

Jazzy,

While picking the lovely sunflowers there must have been constant buzzing present in the field, which was produced by bees.

Such a pretty bouquet of sunflowers!

Teka- yes, lots of bees but also there was a wonderful hummingbird that came up to watch me while I was trying to decide on a particular sunflower for a clipping. They are such friendly creatures, probably because they can escape quickly. My bouquet is getting better all the time with more blooms opening on it. Simple joys of life!

Jazzy,

I am still seeing hummers!

And autumn's best of cheer."

My lemon button fern died. So yesterday my hubby got me another Christmas Cactus. Gonna put it in his office.

This is a great thread, and timely for me to have found it! We have a community garden a few houses down from me and I finally got a plot there after waiting on line for over a year. I've never gardened, but my DIL has a green thumb, so she is partnering with me. Below are my seedlings I plan to plant possibly tomorrow in my 10x20 ft plot. I have to get marigolds to plan around them to help with bugs. I will probably take up half the plot and my DIL /Son the other half. I have some herbs - parsley, basil and oregano along with tomato, carrots and cucumbers

It has been salsa time around here 🙂

HomeMom,

Welcome to the thread. Your seedlings look good. A green thumb in no time!

Jazzy,

A colorful fall rock garden!

MKestrel,

I would like a taste of your salsa!

MOmmyof3,

I never had good luck growing ferns as houseplants!

A hummer was at the flowers and 38*F.

My nasturtiums love the cooler fall weather!

So far no frost.

Jazzygirl

Teka- wow so beautiful!

Now there will be pie.

I have no blooms left except on the yellow rose bush that's confused. They don't last when they're picked, so they'll stay on the bush. Perhaps we'll have rose hips.

HomeMom

Teka - my seedlings now:

That a weed in the middle, I was sending a picture to my DIL to identify! I have about 7-10 cucumbers immerging, and the cherry tomato plants are huge!

Teka

HomeMom,

You do have a green thumb!

Your seedlings look good.

I think a weed in the middle, but interested if your DIL can identify.

HomeMom

Teka - yes, she said "IT's a weed! Pull it!!" LOL. There were tons of them in there

My petunias are having a late fall revival. No hard frost yet

HomeMom

Beautiful Jazzygirl!

When do you pick cucumbers?

L8Blmr

Those look delicious! I'd pick them now if you can use them or give them to someone.

HomeMom

I'm going to try pickling the smaller ones

Jazzygirl

Still no frost here

Teka

Jazzy,

I like the light-colored petunia in your November 6th post. I planted darker colored petunias but feel time for a change in 2022.

HomeMom,

Gram pickled a lot of cucumbers.

L8Blmr,

Welcome to the thread!
