Mother Nature ....

I hate to admit it but this past winter I completely ignored my garden to the point that I didn't even go out to visit with my plants.  Mother Nature is a fickled friend as she teased me with red peppers before the first day of spring.  This from plants that I thought were dead.  I have since planted one tomatoe plant since I am the only one who eats tomatoes in my home.  The geranium pictured above is so full of blooms I am going to have to re-plant her into something larger or split her up into several pots.


My Meyer Lemon tree was also full of blooms before the first day of Spring, then we got hit with very windy days that blew away all the flower buds, and again Mother Nature has surprised me with two lemons on a bare tree.   Just saw them today.

Ground cover peeking out of their pots ready to be tended to. Mexican Heather.


My Herb caddy.  It contains my three most used herbs, Basil, Parsley and Cilantro.  The caddy allows me to bring the entire thing into the kitchen, cut off what I need and take it back outside.

Enjoy your week everyone and please let me know you visited.

Linking up to Tootsie Time's Fertilizer Friday, and My Romantic Home's Show and Tell Friday.

  1. Beautiful Sylvia...just wait, it'll happen...then you'll be complaining about all the yard work..at least I will. I'm sewing a pillow that I stamped...and I'm not liking it. It came out not centered and it's bugging me, so I think I'm gonna undo everything and try something else...next project...that apron...aye, aye, aye. have a wonderful week.

    Thanks for your kind wishes for my 2 boys. It is going to be a long few weeks before they are better but I am sure that they will love all the yummy Easter Chocolates they will be receiving this weekend!
