Photo Friday FLOWERS!!!!!

I've always loved Sunflowers but they don't seem grow in my current abode. However, Dandelions grow quite abundantly. When Spring first arrived, I started looking for them my dismay, there were none be found. Dang, I hope my landlord didn't spray them away. This is the first food for bees make honey with.

This morning I found a few of them popping . Spring must be taking it's time getting started in West Virginia. In another reality, I would love have a huge garden with a greenhouse. Alas, my gardening adventures are limited container gardens. It is about enjoying and appreciating what we have. There are folks who have a whole lot more but it doesn't make them happier.

I will be starting some pumpkin seeds in a few day. It involves soaking them, placing them in eggshells and eventually into the ground.

Enjoyed the picture you selected.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

I've got all the room you could ask for, but not the ability to tend to it anymore as a garden. That's why I will be doing containers. You always have interesting plants in yours.
Come to think of it, I've not seem any dandelions blooming yet this year either.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

You're planting pumpkin seeds? Very cool! I remember in elementary school one of my teachers sending us all home with a milk carton containing soil and squash seeds. Fun to watch them germinate!

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Nice array of flowers Starwomyn. Seeing your dandelions when I was growing up my mother would dig up dandelion greens and make a salad out of them. My mother said they were a spring tonic. We would braid the dandelion flowers and make a crown for our hair. We always had an abundance of dandelion flowers around so am sure the bees did well.

Love the cheerful sunflower mixed bouquet. Also the second pic - is it spearmint or some kind of herb? Interesting way of starting pumpkin seeds in egg shells - compostable so makes a lot of sense.
