Garden Version 2.0

Garden Version 2.0

Recently I posted some picture of my pre-planted garden here, this past weekend I planed some new plants. I bought all plants that could live in full sun (the front of our house gets sun exposure all day) and drier soil. The bulbs and other plants that were already here when we moved in were in a yellow and purple pallet, so we’ve kept that theme.

We also decided to try to only plant perennials, hopfully next year we’ll only have to weed the garden and stick in a few pansies (my favourite flower, no garden is complete without them IMO)

Here is Garden Version 2.0, please stay tuned for version 3 “growing”

Garden Version 1

I was out in the garden today, I put some soil out – ready to plant flowers next weekend.

Here are some pictures of what is already growing. . . .

Some teeny tiny Violets

Some large and lushious White Tulips

I have no idea what this plant is, its something planted last year, that I didn’t kill.  Be impressed!!!!  When I saw it at the nursury It reminded me of a pot plant, which amused me, therefore I had to have it.

  
These technically aren’t growing. . . . .  .but anyways, here are two of the ‘tiki idols’ we got for our garden.  They’ve been scaring the bloody mourning doves off though, which is a good thing.

You Catch More Flies With. . . .

Today Colin and I went to Reno Depot to look at lawn mowers. We need a new one.

I went to check out the plant section, and I came across a small little lone plant that looked very interesting.

I picked it up to look at the tag, it was a Venus Fly Trap. It was 4 dollars, so I had to have it.

I’ve been reading up on Venus Fly Traps, they are called ‘carnivorous’ or sometimes called insectivorous plants. They digest bugs. . . takes approximatly 10 days for the process.

Anyways. . . I’m going to take it to work, hopefully it will look menacing enough to get people to stay away from my desk.

Floored

Mr and Mrs Graham came up yesterday for the weekend, (I’ll blog more about their visit in the coming days)

Mr Graham installed some new flooring in our kitchen.   Its simply fabulous, goes really well with the house.

They arrived just after 12noon, and had the old floor ripped up, floor prepared and the vinyl installed before 4pm on Friday night.
