Hey all, today is well, obviously October 15. But you may not of known is that today is "Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day,"This event was started by Carol who also has a blog. To find her blog just click
"
HERE." Basically the whole deal with this event is were you post your pics of ALL (or in this case some) of the pictures that I have taken this year. This is my first time I have ever done Garden's Bloggers
' Bloom Day.
Here are some pictures of the zinnias that I grew this year. When I was mowing the grass my mower had grabbed one of the flowers and viciously pulled it off. I couldn't make myself throw this flower away, so I decided t
hat I would do a photo shoot. I think I took 192 photos!
T
hese photos turned out great!
I don't know about you all, but I know that my
zinnias turne
d out GREAT this year. They were really
beautiful this year.
I also gre
w a pie pumpkin this year. This was first that I have ever grown pumpkins, I actually grew it by accident. We had
actually thrown some pumpin seeds into the compost bin, and there it grew. I saw that plant and left it there, sure enough all of my other squash plants died and this one plant survived and
PRODUCED!
I also for the first time I grew
Sun flowers, I planted 3 plants and had a great result. They filled up a whole 24oz jar plus one head that I grew for the birds and other animals. They got so BIG, I will be defiantly growing them again next year, and hopefully if I have
room, some more too! Maybe later I will post some of the pictures that I have of the sunflowers when they weren't dried. The only thing that I had a problem with, was the spittle bugs that
spat all over my sunflowers and basil. I thoroughly despise spittle bugs!
I also grew this year, along with last year, some pink prairie mallow that I bought from Jung's Nursery. That is one online nursery that I really enjoy shopping at! The mallow turned out so nicely this year, with lots of blooms, that just covered the plant. There was an added bonus as shown by the picture, Bees love it! So if you need help with pollination, you may want to consider planting some
Pink Prairie Mallow , the leaves are also edible!
I hope you all enjoyed some of the pictures that I posted, I would have put up more (which I have plenty of,) but decided not to.
Oh but I forgot this one, and cannot leave it out. It was early in the morning when I was looking outside and saw at my feeder two finches. I couldn't help but take some pictures, as that my camera is always nearby. Here is one of them!
you are like me, you as excited as a little child. The outside smells like snow, cold and damp; you can see your breath as you exhale; everything looks magical in white, red, and green; and music fills the air in your house and the stores. Every thing seems peaceful. Is not God good! The sow is falling on all of your plants and trees, and the ice makes everything light up. Here are some pictures winter ice.
rt for my English 111 class that has been taking professor, she has been va bit of time. Not by any fault of myery helpful, the reason this has taken so long, is because I decided to change what I was going to write on two days ago! I just finished i
t, and thought that I owed it to myself to get this blog post up. I mean, I have preparing it
for how many days, a lot! So this is pretty cool, my mom is starting her 
co
okbook (fi
nally!), it has been like pulling teeth in order to get her to do this. She is probabl
y the best chef that
is on the face of this
planet. So this week it has been a nonstop cook-a-thon, just so that we can get pictures of all 
of her food! It would be me who is taking all of the pictures, since I am the one that owns the really cool camera! Anyway enough about this, lets get out hands dirty in the garden! It sort of feels odd writing and seeing all the pictures of leaves since it is snowing outside! Ahhh, the first snow! Okay, I am ready to pack up the luggage and go to Puerto Rico, yeah! I will have to post some pics of my trip to Puerto Rico, and hopefully when I go next summer you will all get the chance to see and travel with me in the pictures that I bring back. Any who, enough of the tropics...brrr its cold!
