Garden Update!

I haven't updated lately on my little garden so here is my update on it along with pictures below. The tomatoes are doing great. I checked them this morning before I watered and there are 2 blooms now on the plants!! YEAH!!! I hope they actually develop into tomatoes!! The pepper plants are doing well also. I have not seen any sign of them having any peppers growing yet, but hopefully soon they will!! I can't wait till they do! Unfortunately the cilantro has not made it yet. Out of 2 different seed plantings, none of them have survived. I am at the point I will go to Lowe's or one of the little garden shops in town and get a cilantro plant that has already started and go from there with that.  I want to be able to make us some homemade salsa!!!

The pansy plants have taken off. They are doing very well, except for one of them. I think one out of six not doing well is still very good for me. The others have multiple blooms and are very colorful and full of blossoms! The rose bush hasn't put out any more flowers yet. It is however growing new branches and leaves so I'm not concerned with it at all. It has had 2 beautiful roses so far and I'm sure many more to come! The zinnia's are getting tall and full. One of the flowers has a flower bud on it and I bet will start opening in the next few days. Kylie is so thrilled about it and is hoping it is a pink zinnia. Gabryle is thrilled because they are getting so big. He loves the zinnias and every time I ask if they are his flowers he says yes, so they are no longer mine apparently.  The bleeding hearts are struggling a little. Not sure if its from the Oklahoma weather or what. I know part of it is most likely due to the fact the shady spot I had it in, is now no longer shaded all day like it used to be. I forgot to remember that with the summer coming the shady spots will be different. I'll figure something out for it to make it do well. The other bulb plants I transplanted are doing okay I think. One has started to grow back after loosing its leaves from the transplant. Maybe now it will produce a flower, if it even does produce flowers. I'll update again soon as the zinnia's start to produce flowers.
Till Next Time!!!

My yellow rose as of 4/11/2012

Yeah!! I'm so thrilled! My first rose, heck first flower of all the plants I have planted is about to fully bloom!!! My yellow rose bush, the plant that is just thriving and doing amazing has its first bud abut to fully open! The girls find it fun to check it every day after they get home from school. They jump out of the car and run look at it.

One rose bush didn't make it. It finally had its last green leaves fall off.  All of the other flowers and plants seem to be doing well. The pansies look much greener and I've transplanted the tomato plants outside. The cayenne peppers will soon be transplanted outside also, and the cilantro in my indoor pot. The zinnias have also gotten up to about 2 inches tall and are so green!

Enjoy the pictures!!!

Till Next Time!!!!

Gardening

Pansies!!!

I have to say I am rather pleased with myself at the moment. It has been nearly 2 weeks since family fun night and we got the mommy and me planting basket through the auction and the pansies that came all planted in a pretty vase is doing better than when we got them! I am slowly nursing them to a better health than when we received them.

Miniature Yellow Roses. 

When we brought them home they looked like they were under watered with a lot of brown leaves all over the plant. I trimmed the brown leaves off and all of the wilted flowers and have made sure to water regularly, but not to often. I'm proud to say that we have had 2 new flowers bloom on it! Plus the steams and leaves have really greened up and it looks just oh so much better!! The girls make sure and check every day to see if there are new flower buds on the plant.

this is a picture of what 2 of the rose bushes will look
like when it blooms!!

The rose bushes the kids and I planted a month ago are also doing very well. One of them has already put on tons of new leaves and branches! One has put on a few new leaves and one still isn't doing as well as the others. I believe the last one needs to be in more sunlight so I'm going to have to transplant it to a better spot to where it gets more sun. One of the bushes will be miniature yellow roses, and the other two will be white with pink tips. Yellow Roses are my favorite! I was thrilled to find a rose bush that would produce some yellow roses!

I will make sure and keep ya updated on how I do with gardening these plants and the pansies!

Till Next Time!!!
