yesterday was lousy,it poured all day, very wet,cool and miserable, so i got on with housework. cleaned kitchen and shower room, took me ages as this bloody ankle is killing me. got up this morning to a very damp,misty dull morning, which got out at 12.30 to glorious sun,and warmth. cooked a yummy roast beef lunch,cleared away,loaded dishwasher ( no im not rich,pam gave it me lol her son got it,and it was being used in her berdoom as a tv table. lol its a tabletop one but its been plumbed into cupboard under sink) and went to bed til 5.
now,remember i was praising spray and grow a few entries back?? get it from QVC shopping channel, another free plug. lol. well these pics show why i praise it so much . enjoy and if anyone not into flowers nice having you this far lol.
tomatoes are doing so well been sprayed with it every week huge trusses and looking good. get fed every 2 waters with tomato fertiliser as well.
busy lizzies in a flower pouch were tiny plug plants. every plant has been sprayed every week with spray n gro EXCEPT for the bottom left plant. again fed weekly with toato feed. as can be seen there is a huge difference in the quality and size of plant. i was careful to choose 10 plugs exactly the same size. poor little thing is being sprayed now lol
front of my house no its not a jungle underneath window lol they are day lillies look bit untidy until they bloom
fuschias doing so well
again sprayed weekly n fed watered every day soon dry out
this is on an old plinth i found when i moved in think it was a bird bath once i turned it upside down,the pot is one of a set of 3 that cost 6.99 a set and is near the pond.
so, think you now know why i praise spray n grow so much. 2 more sprays will do,then i feed twice weekly with tomato fertiliser and hope they keep going until september. i did try and add these pics as an album and crashed twice doing it so hope you enjoyed them. take care all and many thanks for all the kind comments you left.much appreciated

I love flowers...just don't have the ability to do all you do and live in an apt. so no room either. Your's are beautiful and I enjoy seeing the photo's. BTW, I don't think you have to be rich to have a dishwasher anymore. Most people I know have them Mort...lol.
Hugs, Joyce
The flowers look great, but you have also put a lot of hard work into your garden this year, sorry to hear you ankle is still painfull. Today the weather was glorious made a nice change after Saturday, the Roast sounded nice, I rarely have a Sun day roast now, no point it being just me.
Regards to Mum
Take care

Good morning Mort, Thank you for your very kind thoughts...I am sitting here with a very heavy heart but things must go on and although I can hardly think one day after another I suppose things will move wothout me ...It was so lovely to be looking at your beautiful beautiful hanging baskets etc. You sure would put me to shame with my pathetic little things. I have never sent for anything from QVC(unlike my beloved niece who was forever buying things from QVC !) but I will have to have a look for next year if it is still available. Take Care. ( Unfortunatley Jacks. husband who we brought home with us for the weekend has now landed in hospital down here0...but we will still go up to Worcester tomorrow and try to tidy the house somewhat..therE is so so much to think of Mort. Love Sybil xx
Hey my fav other man. I loved the pictures. Absolutely stunning. Now, I will write a list of all the flowers I want you to organise In my garden and by rough calculation, I've worked out that you will be about 150 miles from me!! So.... You got a push bike? lol. ;-) Love Pam xx

Good for you. You got it to load!!! I have saved the ones you sent me. You know Mort, this is just, your knowledge on flowers and so forth, I gather from talking with you, an extension of what you did before you GOT SICK WITH MS and I firmly believe that is one thing that keeps you going. Look at all the beauty you allow all of us to share. My dishwasher is my 2 hands or Joe's 2 hands but you need any help you can get to makle your life as easy as possible. You do great!!!! Lucy

Hi Mort .... wow, your plants look fab and cannot believe the size of those toms already.....yep, your got green fingers....lol
Luv Jaynee X
WoW!!! your nreihbors are so lucky to be able to enjoy your beautiful yard work . It really looks wonderful Mort. at least the yuckky rain is good for something, keeping the flowers watered. I have to remember to water my plants because it is so hot here already that it just sucks all the moisture out on a daily basis. It was 94 degrees here today! thanks for the pictures. i do so enjoy seeing your lovely gardens , june
Mort your plants are beautiful and so many of them ~ and those tomatoes wish mine were that forward ~ I only have flowers on at the moment ~ YES I can understand why you praise "spray and grow" ~ Hope you Mum is OK ~ Ally x
Those pics look great :o) You must be very proud of your garden x Glad the weather got better for you.

What lovely plants it certainly seems to work! I am reading you thru Jayney who sings your praises. Please visit my private journal if you would like to. Love Conniex
back again. I watched Bones tonight! just wanted to see what you have been raving about. it was very exciting. When he was singing and joking around i thought of angel. then he got blown up and i was screaming no dont kill angel. my kids said mom he is the star they cant kill him. it had a happy emding , he saved her life . was hoping she would reward him with a kiss. oh well maybe next time! june
Hi Mort! Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. Isn't it funny how we all seem to have a special love for the place where we grew up?
Your flowers and plants are amazing. I did look for Spray n Grow online after your tip a while back, and it looks like there are other places from which you can order it, not just QVC. I'm skipping the garden this year, due to the way our vacation was timed, additional work to be done on it, etc., but next year I will be sure to get some.

Hi Mort, I hope your ankle is feeling better to day. Your flowers are lovely and your tomatoe bushes is full. We have some planted but they don't have many tomatoes on them. It has been so dry here. Hello to mums hope she is still doing well.
Happy Fathers Day Mort! you may or may not have children but you are an honorable man and I want to say it to you anyway! love , june
Yay my doctor shows tonight lol
Mort
i am sooo jealous. Those tomatoes are gorgeous, and so are your flowers. Please send me your green thumb!

Just catching up Mort, your garden is lovely and your home reminds me so much of ours, you have the same windows we used to have and we both have hanging baskets outside. I am very interested in that product. Problem is I can no longer get any shopping channels, we cancelled our subscription to satellite last years - used to buy quite a bit on there. So I would not be able to get it anyway. Seems super stuff.
