Thurston Flower Garden #3 and last

By

In a recent post, I said I would post one more of my pictures of my wife's flower garden. I don't have nearly as many flowers this year as previously because my wife isn't here to plant them. I am doing my best to keep things growing though and keep the weeds down.

It amazes me how a weed can grow on a rock but a flower not only requires good soil to grow in, but it also requires regular watering, fertilizer and plenty of space, so it isn't choked out. Weeds though, only require you not to pull them. I know that if I tried to grow dandelions, they wouldn't grow, because I was trying, but since I am not, they do quite well, thank you! Here is the last installment of flowers, I hope you enjoy them as much as Elaine did!

 

I truely hope you enjoy this last installment. Have a wonderful weekend.

These are just beautiful Fred. I'll have to go back and find #1 and 2. Has your wife passed away since last year? What a wonderful way to stay connected with her. Gardening nourishes the heart and soul. Bless you.

Thanks Vicki, I really enjoy looking at all the pictures too. Yes, my wife passed away in November of last year after an especially nice day that she spent working in her garden. She complained of back pains that night that I later found out was often a sign of a heart attack for women. We just thought it was because she over did it. Have a wonderful day, week, month and year. Live every day as if it were your last, it could be.
