My Garden This Year 2016:

My Garden Is Amazing This Year-

Last Year my garden ended up all sad.

Everything died and I was very heart broken and sad.

But I decided not to let that experience scare me from 

gardening. My grandmother was big at the gardening stuff, 

and I felt like I is my job to keep on the legacy.

And let me tell you that it wasn't easy but I love that my

hard work paid off fantastically. And I'm

DARN proud of it. Lol!

My grandma always had a Gnome somewhere in her garden so

I started with the Gnome.

The whole blue thing wasn't cutting it for me so I 

re did the whole thing.

The magic of paint and a good brush!!!

Now is Perfect!!! Better than that blue right?

Mr. Gnome looks happy around some of my beautiful plants.

Believe that it all looked like this.

I was so sad that my plants last year wasn't good at all.

Still sad but we getting there.

Most of all my flowers started from seeds starters.

The best way to start your garden.

This year weather was a little crazy so for me

it took longer for them to grow.

Plus I had a pesky SQUIRREL attacking my bulbs.

And get this yanking all of my plants from the roots.

I got them off my flowers with Cayenne Pepper powder.

And got a mint plant and a jalapeño plant also.

Pretty so far right?

The one in the pot is a Lily Stargazer.

It haven't bloom yet so I'm kind of sad about it but in time

I'll get to see them bloomed.

I added more seeds and sunflowers as well.

The sunflowers are getting big as of today it's almost as 

tall as my husband!!!

I feel like I have a jungle, Lol!

I also added a fairy house, some fairies and tiny chairs.

I had tons of fun with this part.

Fairy village!!!

Beware of Magic!!!

Remember how I said it feels like a Jungle!!

It's more develop than this so is a big deal.

I love that tricycle, My mom gave to me as a gift

and I was soooo happy!!!

These are my Zinnias Love them, and they so huge now.

These are the Hawaiian Punch mix & the other side are

Purple Rush.

Next to my husband are my sunflowers. Aren't they tall?

They almost getting as big as us is crazy.

I didn't have a green thumb last year, but I didn't give up.

So please don't give up if they aren't turning out the way you expect.

Don't lose hope. And most importantly be patience.

HAPPY GARDENING FRIENDS!! 

Garden Cleared for Winter-

We Ready for Winter!!!

Now that winter is almost here...

I decided to clear up my garden.

I cleaned up all the leaves and all the

plants that died.

I was sad about it but I'll be ready for next Spring!!!

Which is going to be awesome...

Now is time to enjoy the holidays 

with family!!!

Some holidays DIY ideas will be coming soon...

Hope everyone is enjoying this amazing day...

Gardening Therapy-

Fixing A Distressed Garden:

When meditation doesn't work, I try gardening
& it works miracles.

I posted a while back about gardening, I had very green and healthy grass.

But it got damaged by a drainage pipe being clogged and the water 

settling in my garden bed. It destroyed everything!!!

I was so heart broken and sad about it.

But I figured it out after the pipe was fixed. I got 

brave enough and said to myself, well it's time to get down 

to business and get you back to your healthy & beautiful stage!!!

I took 1 inch of the toxic dirt!!!

And disposed of it, 

Replaced it with Miracle-Gro Hydrate Soil 

(This can be found anywhere, I got mine at Walmart).

I also re-potted some of the damaged plants in pots.

With Miracle-Gro Potting Soil (Also Walmart).

I wanted to salvage all my plants not caring how bad they 

looked but the roots still look healthy. 

I used Miracle-Gro Plant Food!!! (Walmart too, Any of these products

can be found anywhere where plants are sold
).

And let me say that it works wonders...

Hard-work definitely pays off!!!
I just wish this warm weather stays a little bit
longer!!!

Let's create something amazing!!!
It could be through Mother Nature or Art,
Even Craft!!!
All it takes is WILL POWER.

Hope everyone enjoyed this post.

Let's Be Outside Fixing Our Gardens With Our Little Ones!

(Don't forget to wear sunblock & have a bottle 

of water near by, STAY HYDRATED)

I have to confess, I had a really hard time 

keeping my flowers to stay alive

but I did some research and asked my family for advice.

And I didn't give up 

It is not as complicated as it looks.

And you get to spend quality time 

with your kids.

My daughter loves to help me outside

she even sings to her flowers when they're looking sad...

That's HER in the pic Above!!!

So CUTE!!!

You don't have to only have flowers

How about some vegetables

Green Peppers, Chili Peppers Even Tomatoes, YUMMY!!!

Also Different types of herbs...

The Picture Above is the way I started

I wanted to make it all plain to sort of picture

what i wanted to do with it!!!

 

The Layout came out more beautiful than I thought.

I was so happy when I saw it after I was done

So proud of my work!!!

I Chose to plant chili peppers, it took a 

longer time for them to grow but when I saw my first chili 

pepper. I did my happy dance because I was about to give up 

on it. But I kept watering them and putting plant food.
