Today I thought I would try something different! Something that I've not really had much interest in up until quite recently when we had a plant sale at work, and so I thought why not!
'Something green this way comes' (I hope!)
This afternoon was spent in the garden preparing to plant my flowers and veggies! I'm so excited! As daft as this sounds, I wanted to be 'supervised' because, well, this is me we're talking about and I'm not very green fingered... YET! ;)
So, what am I planting?
🍃 Stock
🍃 Cucumber
🍃 Tomatoes
🍃 Rudbeckia
🍃 Sunflower
I had said to myself to just pick one or two to start with but I just saw them all and got carried away! Everyone was telling me how wonderful certain plants looked and I couldn't resist! I am most excited for the sunflower, I hope that goes well! Hive account@raymondspeaks I'm naming it after you so I'm sure it will blossom just lovely!
Ok, here's some photographic evidence of myself 'potting' around ;)
Taking the plants out from the pots ready to plant amongst the compost. (Kind of looks like I don't really know what I'm doing...)
Tying the plants to the 'sticks' (apologies for improper terminology!) to help them grow straight, or so I'm told!
There was something quite theraputic about doing this today, and I enjoyed it far more than I thought! Though it did hurt my back a little haha! I would LOVE one of those standing troughs! Lol! For now the garden is being worked on (as you can probably tell from some of the pictures) and so perhaps I will hold onto that thought! Maybe I will start doing videos... hmm, later down the line perhaps! Have 'planted a seed' for now ;)
Whilst in the garden, it seemed as though the dog wanted in on the action as she was very observant to what I was doing, though I think she just wanted some fuss!
Roxy's the name, fuss is my game! 😎
This is Roxy, the 'posing pooch'! I felt obligated to take a pic as she rested her head against my arm as I was trying to take a snap of the plants! Right, that's her 'moment of fame'! She will be most delighted ;) Now, must water the plants! ~Does a happy dance~
Oh, and going back to my 'A Plant Pot and a GREEN Growth' post where I shared the mysterious plant... it is STILL growing! And now looks like this...
Any tips from the green fingers of Steemit most welcome haha!
I'm naming it after you so I'm sure it will blossom just lovely!
