Fertilizer Friday

I am joining Tootsie at Tootsie Time for Fertilizer Friday. Today I am sharing a memorial garden I started last year for our sweet girl Jazzy Rachel she was a 6 yr old pit bull who died after complications from a emergency surgery. We loved her more  than words can say, so to always keep her memory alive I have a small garden in her memory. My daughter said that Jazzy's' favorite color was pink so all the flower are pink or pink tone. I have a pink bubblegum petunia, pink verbenas, pink vincas and pink snapdragons. Most of her toys and blankets were Winnie-the-pooh something my daughter started when she brought her home at 2 weeks old. That is why we have a Winnie-the-pooh statue in her garden.

Hope you enjoy the pictures. I will share more as the garden blooms. Thanks for joining me today and please go over and visit Glenda to see her gorgeous flowers as well as the other bloggers joining her for Fertilizer Friday. Have a great weekend. Patricia

Fertilizer Friday

I am joining Tootsie at Tootsie Time for Fertilizer Friday the day gardeners around blog land show off their gorgeous flowers. My tulips did not do as well as last year, I think we had too much rain and snow this winter.

There were not as many blooms as last year and the blooms only lasted about 2 days.

I have been busy getting my other flowerbeds going,

I have some perennials in my front bed that are doing well.

The silver lace plant is a Avalanche Sandwort and I planted

King Edward Yarrow a lacy foliage with yellow blooms.

I also have white assylums along the front of my beds. It

doesn't really look like much now but with love and attention

and fertilizer I sure it will come together.

(I know I shouldn't leave the tags out but I seem to lose them

and forget what I planted, Someday I am going to get organized : )

My azalea bush is looking pretty, fertilizer has really helped it grow.

Well thats all I have for today, be sure to visit Tootsie and see her beautiful

flowers as well as other gardeners. Have a great weekend.

Tulips for Fertilizer Friday

I am joining Tootsie at Tootsie Time  for Fertilizer Friday.  Please be sure to go by and visit her and the others who will be participating in Fertilizer Friday. Today I am sharing my tulips that are coming up in my gardens. I can't believe how they have grown. Seems there are more bulbs coming up this year than I had last year. My tulips are red and yellow. I love that color combination.   The picture below is from last year. 

                                                                        

This is what I have coming up this year.

Yes I know I need to take down my Valentine garden flag but it is so cute. I plan to do some yard work this weekend so maybe I will replace it with a St Patrick's Day flag or a Easter flag. Both would work. Thanks for stopping by. Have a Great Weekend. Patricia
