~New Variety of Flowers~

I love looking for new flowers and plants for the garden.
So many different varieties that I've never seen before.

I always love pansies and violas.
When I have the time,
 I try and press flowers between newspapers.
That way they'll be dry and I can use them for projects in the future.


The kids made pancakes with edible flowers this weekend.
Almost too pretty to eat!
I stamped wooden labels for plants.

I looked through our plant seeds.
We always try and save what we can.
Stan planted tomatoes, zucchini, squashes and more.
We cleared out a section for new tomatoes. 
Looking forward to fresh garden veggies.
Artichokes are still doing well.

Enough for everyone for dinner.
I started growing some sprouts for salads and sandwiches. 
~In 3 Days~
In one week,
 it filled the jar.
It was great on a sandwich.
Our peony bloomed this week.


I wish the blooms could last forever.
I picked out some new plants at the nursery.
They're drought tolerant.
~Salvia Gauranitica~
'Black and Blue'
~Salvia Spathacea~
'Hummingbird Sage'
~Veronica Spicata~
'Royal Candles'
I love finding new plants for the garden.
Another surprise sighting,
our garden rabbit!!

~Fresh Flowers From The Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays #163~

I wanted to share with you a bouquet of flowers,
 I picked today from our garden.
I couldn't believe how many different varieties 
we have growing this year.
~Queen Anne's Lace~


~Bells of Ireland~
~Delphinium~
~Rose~
~Larkspur~

~Alstroemeria~
One of the areas where we grow our flowers.
When you grow your own flowers,
you can always have a fresh bouquet.

Our little Carly just turned 25 years old on
April 14th.
Happy Birthday Little Pumpkin!!
