ANNUAL FLOWER FUN

It’s no secret that I am flower crazy and luckily, inherited a green thumb from my mama! She and I have already hit some green houses and have several of our annual flowers bought. With the weather outlook now a little better earlier in northern Indiana, I’ve gotten a jump on getting these puppies in the pots and they'll be in the ground probably today or tomorrow.

 

We are those people that rarely buy already done up greenhouse pots, we like to plant our own and watch them grow like crazy with tender loving care and miracle grow. I thought you guys might want to see a round up at some of my beautiful posies from last year.




I’m doing a little changeup in annuals this year but one thing that will remain the same is the Pink bubblegum petunias, I literally have 6 dozen of these babies to plant. For me and for my mom, they are the hardiest and most beautiful at the proven winners’ annual flowers and seem to do the best in our seasonal zone.




You can also that I’ll be having a couple elephant ear plants this year. Ours grew so tall last year and we’re such a conversation piece, so much fun and so tropical feeling close to the pool. 



And the Hibiscus are always a hit!

Last Years were called "Chatty Cathy"


Here is one the 3 Fiesta Hibiscus that I purchased last week, 
I'll be keeping in the sunroom til warm enough outside.


A couple ferns always do so well on our front porch as well and I’m hoping I can find the coleus plants that grew so tall on the porch last year too.

BUY SWEATSHIRT HERE
From Last Thursday. We always get the ferns first and at one particular 
greenhouse as they are only 10.99ea there.

Just look how big the Coleus's got last year!! This was September.

I’ve got some new perennials to plant as well. We have a little area by our pool house that we’re dedicating to Mr. Nine’s mom. I got some Daisy May daisies to plant too in honor of our Daisy which mom said are a great proven winner perennial and some new pink and red tinted hydrangeas for the front. I’ll let you know how they do.

 

Do you plant annuals? Perennials? And do you have a garden? That’s one thing we have not done at the new house but I especially want some tomatoes, LOL!

We keep failing to get a more recent photo together in the greenhouses. 

And one more time...My Fav Flower pic from Last year.


OK, I’m signing off to get my hands diggin in the dirt! 

One of my favorite things to do and I hope y’all have a great start to your week!

I got my second Pfizer vaccine shot yesterday! As I write this, I’m not sure how I’ll be feeling when you read it, just hoping for the best and so glad to have it done! And idiots are copying cards so there that! Ugh! 


2. Gifts from my Kids

I’m so excited to talk about a few of the birthday gifts that my kids got me! This verse top is from a Darling local boutique that I plan to share with you in a couple weeks. It was so precious because while my son’s girlfriend was getting her teeth whitened at a pop up there, he was walking around the store holding up things and deciding which one to get me, I think they pretty much picked the perfect top for me! I love everything about it!

They also made me the darling T-shirt and I just love it. Our sons girlfriend‘s mom turned 50 on Tuesday so they made her one as well and I told her, we are going to have to get a picture together! The kids used a friend’s CriCut and got the tees off Amazon and then ironed on the vinyl lettering. So cute!!

Here are some other sweet gifts from some friends of mine, I’ll show More of all the goodness in the next few weeks but I modeled a couple of the tops so I thought I would show you.

My precious friend Caroline from The Petite Fashionista knows how much I love the pool and water so she went with that theme and got me the cutest pool T-Shirt from Nordstrom and a NEST candle in Ocean Mist & Sea Salt knowing how much I have been wanting one. They are as wonderful as everyone says.
