And then There were Two Flower Beds
Today seemed like a good a time as any to show you my family’s Pilgrim Progress with the raised beds. Now, we are up to two. Both are looking might handsome. Brother person is trying to make one per week. The rains have been favorable. We might just be able to get a good harvest. The bell peppers are starting to show flowers. At least, I think they are bell peppers. The store say they were bell peppers. This time we bought the anti-mosquito plant. I gotta say it works pretty well. You sit right next to it, and it...
Gardening Sister: My First Raised Planter
Those who are not familiar with my work might be surprised by this post. Who am I kidding? You folks already know what I am all about. Anyhow, brother person has been taking lowering weight seriously. The dieting not so much. Dieting is hard. This Friday we had pizza. Since he went up three pounds, he took drastic measures. Most folks would throw up, but that is not the healthy way to lose weight quickly. The quickest way to loose weight is to garden. Two hours of shoveling dirt was enough to burn those calories. In order to avoid overheating,...
Orange Butterflies on Top of Dead Flower
It has been a bit of a long time ago since I posted some new floral or bug photos. One of the photos I took was out of focus, which sucks. Still. I wanted to show you all the nice butterflies on top of the pretty dead flower. The garden has gotten plenty of butterflies since I putted up those Mexican Sunflowers. They turned out pretty great, even the one that kept falling to the side. There is one that is also sideways that keeps producing flowers. One of the plants does not inspire much confidence. Still, it is still...
My new Red and Gold Sunflower
The wind has been making a number on the sunflowers. I only have about three that are more or less intact. The rest are a work in progress. They might sprout from the ground any day. If it rains more often I might be able to make some semblance of progress. Yesterday, it did rain a decent amount in the afternoon. I have about a couple of more days to water the plants to get the seeds to germinate. Due to the wind the trees are finally dropping their leaves. It is really annoying. In the end, we just might...
Pretty Flowers of the Parrot Keys
I have been a little mellowed out as of lately. I wanted to show you some pretty flowers and the like. The weekend was pretty mellowed out. We did not need to head out. We only went to buy fancy food. I got another cheesecake. We spent some time seeing a couple of movies. We recently left Netflix cause of all their stupid propaganda. Now, we are just seeing Prime plus. Prime had a Quiet Place, which was great. It was an interesting horror movie. The dudes were a bunch of idiots in that movie. It was a proper bleak...
