Well summer is close to an end and I hate to see my hard work die. I got this bright idea to grow my own flowers starting with seed's. I went to Home Depot and bought a shelf and some florescent light to help them grow better. Man this was a lot of work. I had to keep them moist but not to moist. The first batch I killed ( I though I really had a green thumb). Being the person I am and don't do well with defeat, I started a new round (when it got a little warmer). They did OK, not what I had expected. I found a green house on sale, and yes I bought it!!! Cant waite until next spring to experiment with it. I want to use the seed's from my flowers outside to make more flower's (Bob I know what you are thinking). I also had this weird vine growing in my flower bed, I could not waite to see what it was going to produce. Gourds, the kind you can make bird houses out of!!! So, I have been reading up on how to dry them and make bird houses out of them. So if any one is interested ( I have lot's growing) I would be happy to pass some your way. There is nothing like getting dirt under your finger nails and the smell of dirt. Shell

YOur flower garden looks awesome. Sure wish I had even a hint of a green thumb.
I'm sure you will do better next year. if I get cremated after I die you can use my ashes. If you do you will have truely a green thumb. Love Dad
Your flower gardens & fish pond were beautiful this year. I especially think the special bed by the old shed is lovely,
Love MOM
Wow! You really had a pretty flower garden! I'd love to have a birdhouse gourd! Those things are so neat! I could hang it under the deck!
In the fourth photo down... is Bob wearing undies outside?
I guess you are far enough out in the country to do that!
yes, my mom got them for him. You just add water and they turn into undies. Did you notice that they are PINK????
Yeah, I noticed that. :)
i just read the posts, those are not undies they are man britches
I am sooooo jealous. My flower bed didn't look anywhere near as good. I wish I had your green thumb and that I found gardening relaxing.
