So here I am in FL, and pleased to report, that the garden has a tender! Mom is doing a wonderful job keeping the babies well tended and growing happy as clams. The transplanted sunflowers have even made it passed a week of life now and I'm so happy! There were three babies, but only two made it, but that's better than nothing! She's even sent pictures to show us all how wonderful they were doing! That picture is the weekend that I left, and the one on the right is as of last night! You can see the two tiny baby sunflowers in the bottom left corner! The bud below is from the sunflower that towers over the shoulder of my momma now, and she reports it as a 2 inch in diameter, golfball shaped bud. Hopefully it doesn't bloom until I get home on Sunday!
The elephant ear has grow exponentially! From the tiny bud in the last post, to a two pronged leaf baring beauty! Soon it might get taller and I simply can't wait. There are so many growing things that she has had to send over 9 pictures last night to cover all the bases! And apparently last night she potted the picasso petunias, the tequila sunrise petunias, and weeded! The picasso's you can't really tell, but they have purply pink flowers, with lime green tips! They are beautiful! You never know what you might find! She added some other plants but I can't quite make out what they are but there's also some spikeys!
Its the neatest thing ever. The dill, and the lavender are yet to be close uped, but I saw some yellowing on the dill's lower branches but mom said that was from a few days in between where she couldn't make it. It will recover and hopefully get nice and strong and big! I love the dill, its so fluffy! And for those of you that keep up on the garden progress and knew the marigolds were just starting to recover right before I left... I have a picture for you!!!!!
WHOOT! WHOOT! More to come!!!!
From your loving gardener in the forever spring!
-Tine!
P.S.
Guess who's growing! (Mom found him while culling at home!
