Happy Friday!!! Today is the day I remind us all to get out and Feed those plants inside and out! Grab your Fertilizer and feed them, then....grab your camera and Flaunt them! All you have to do...is grab the above logo photo...link it to this post, and then add yourself to the mister linky at the bottom of this post! By doing all of this...you will be sharing all the beauty of the blooms, foliage and gardening ideas with so many other fabulous gardeners!So? What are you waiting for? Go!
Here's what I am sharing this week:
This is the Peony that I have been taking care of in the neighbor's yard....isn't it beautiful? It is more burgundy than red....
Here is a petunia that I have given him...
This yard was in rough shape last summer when he bought the place. He is 23 years old and girls are much more important than yard work. My son mows the grass (his summer job) and I do the rest! I donated several flowers, and some perennials...the sign on the steps is to warn the visitors of the very vicious cat that tried to kill me last month..lol I really like this neighbor...he lets me boss him around like I am his mom...and he doesn't care what I do to his yard...as long as I don't build any new flower beds... I tried not to make it too girly...after all he is a guy....
Speaking of guys...and weeds...I have been feeding this one for 10 years today!!! Happy Birthday Bud!!!
I added some interest...the shale to me is hideous in this garden...a broken pot goes a LONG way sometimes!
Now...lets get back to my garden....the peony in the front is finally blooming...it is very different than any I have had in the past...
Here's a closer look...
The Tiger Lily's are finally open here too...
My vines are growing really fast this year..
There are two little red finch's that have built a nest on the outside of the pillar...they are super neat to watch...but they are offended by my daily watering...better get used to it guys!!!! lol
I love the blooms on this one...
Getting ready to bloom!!!
I picked up a Hydrangea or two that are supposed to by hardy enough to make the winter here...
They are supposed to be white...maybe when they open all the way...I have to decide where to plant them...or if I will just winter them inside the greenhouse...
My big pots on the cement patio...
They seem to be happy this year so far!
My pile of junk is bushing up!!!
The grapevine is slowly getting some leaves...I was worried that this one had died...the other didn't make it this year...I love getting grapes on them...for the birds...
Hangs on the back of the gate...
Inside the greenhouse this swedish ivy is very happy...it is 5 years old.
The peace lily seems to be enjoying herself in the corner behind the door...Well that's what I have for you today...thanks for visiting...hope you link up and then visit the others to see what ideas they have for us...as well as look at the pretty flowers in some very nice gardens!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Doesn't your neighbor know he can catch more queen bees with flowers than with dirt?

Thank you for the prayers sweetie.Sorry I haven't been by in so long. My garden is coming in and is keeping me hopping!
P.S. Glad to see you got that anonymous character bugging you about me under control... creepy eh?... I thought so too. ;0|
Your gardens are doing so well. And what a birthday boy. I think you are growing children as well as you are growing your flowers. Very handsome! Sounds like your neighbor picked the right house to move into. What a deal a lawn person and a garden person? Lucky guy. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for hosting Fertilizer Friday! It's so much fun :-)
I just love peonies....and your tiger lily's oh my....just gorgeous and so full of blooms! I have 2, one didn't survive the winter. The one bloomed twice this year ( 2 buds ) then nothing. How come yours has so many blooms...lol. Your thumb is by far greener than my mine, my friend. Everything looks gorgeous!
Love~ me. & the genius who will finally be home from camp today~ Yeah!
P.S. what a great neighbor.....I wish could get a hold of my neighbors yards sometimes...lol.
Justine :o )
Love the recycling of the old pot - cute idea. I have one with a hole in the bottom side I planted a bunch of semps in. I'll have to show that sometime.
Great show Tootsie!
Your garden has grown in quickly, and looks great, I love the vine on the front of your house. I hope those hydrangeas make it for you, they are one of my favorites.

Your gardens are great Tootsie and it's been fun surfing around everyone else's gardens too.
