Hey there everyone..I hope your wednesday is going swimmingly..:) I thought I would share some photos of the flowers and veggies..My Basil loves this little hot house..been pulling off huge leaves..these are the best plants of basil we have grown since we left italy in 2001..;)
love my confetti of colors and that is what these plants are called as well..;)love sitting on my chairs and staring at the glorious colors.:)
this is my little pumpkin plant..just now getting flowers..but it is so late in the season..I'm afraid they will be pumpkins the size of kiwis when they are done.;) well there is always next year.;)
the nasturims are doing well though..love the orange color..
here are my sunflowers..still no buds..but they are getting taller.;)
I love these bright marigolds and the little lobella blue flowers..surprisingly enough the slugs haven't eaten the marigolds..;)
one ecchinacea..but more in bloom..
love all the color on the back deck.;) this photo does not do them justice..I love watering them and looking at the colors..the nasturisms that are blooming in these are a light peachy salmon color and oh are they pretty.;)
2 more strawberrys..after I took the photo..I gobbled em right up.;)
these little johnny jumps ups..thrive better in the patio then in the pots..they just seeded themselves there..so we left them..;)
more of them...
Romeo's mom..this is the kitty I told you about...she loves a good snuggle with the mama.;) sunny E Bunny...;)
Stan the man...he is the ladies man you know.;)
he's just a big squishy kitty..and has the sweetest high pitched meow...found him as a wee one in italy..climbing out of some thorny bushes...living right by a busy road..;) God was with me and him that day.;)
The Tucker, the Tucker rooney... tuckarama..;)lol..ring any bells..;)
he loves a good belly rub.:)
Pody lynn enjoying some tasty catnip and that nice warm deck..2 favs of our kittehs.;)
she's covered in it..but she is one happy child.;)
Silly Millie touches noses with her boyfriend Stanley...you should here her squack at him..she likes to play hard to get you know.;)
Okay now for the sweets..;) I made banana bread this morning...taking some to the next door neighbor and one loaf will go to work with hubby tomorrow.;)
made these little cream cheese filled chocolate yummies last night..got it from Dee's blog last night..she posted the recipe and I just happened to have the ingredients..so took some to my next door neighbor and some went to work...
and well some popped right into my mouth...weird how that happens..:)
well I am going to post some things on etsy and maybe try to get something sewed...have a wonderful rest of your day.;)

Romeo's Mom looks so much like our cat, Goliath. He's no longer with us, but I was reminded of him when I saw that cat all stretched out on the patio like that. Oh how I miss gardening and I get to get a piece of it when I visit your blog

All your furbabies are precious, but Stan is a quite the handsome devil! ♥

Just beautiful! Wish I had your green thumb.
ReplyDeleteI just love nasturtiums! They are one of my favs. And did you know, you can eat the entire plant? The flowers are beautiful on desserts and the leaves, in a salad! :) They are peppery!
ReplyDeleteLove your cats Gina! :)
