No shame in it

04/22/2015 by Holly

I totally garden for the indoors.

Meaning: I choose my flowers based on “cutability.”  {Yes, that’s a word in this house.}

DSC_0301psThis species of “daisyus weedus” I started from seed almost 10 years ago just after David and I were married.  The blooms have come to mark the first signs of spring for me, and I must admit I’m a little attached to this plant.  After surviving two moves, it had been in a pot on our patio it’s entire stay at this house.  I hope I just planted it in its forever home.

I fully expect it to take over the yard within two years time.

Bitty E assured me this was a “safe place” for us to put the vase.  Riiiiiight.

It remained there until she was distracted by other pursuits, and I was distracted by the thought of toddlers covered in broken glass.

 

Also: this is either a very specific and new type of torture, or “gymnastics camp,” as Bitty E tells me they are playing.

But perhaps they are one in the same?

Oh, hi there

I'm Holly from zone 7b.
My veggies grow above ground where the rabbits help themselves, and the flowers grow in ground where the children help themselves. Sometimes I wish I was a pioneer. Then I move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and think better of it.
