Garden contentment!

Good Evening!

It has been a great day! Wanted to share this tidbitz with you! Am 'quoting what I wrote to a wonderful friend' about our visit and shopping experience today to our favourite Nursery and Fresh Produce farm.

"We got a fair amount of plants (seedling geraniums - cheaper to buy at the onset - 75 cents each; but they do grow into beautiful flowers in our balconey planter
box etc - they last til November - no kidding! - we need 16 there...THEN,
added 8 more seedlings, 4 double Guinea impatients, 6 little impatients, 6
little begonias, 2 white bacopa; that equals 42 plants!!!! Then herbs (just
got a few; not quite in season) sweet basil (2 love sweet basil, and its
smell!) , 2 cucumbers, 2 peppers, 6 cherry tomatoes - 4 sweet cherry & 2
Sweet Millions - methinks the Sweet Millions are the best; but we got a mix.
There are also Tiny Tims cherry tomatoes; but we passed on those. Love
Boston lettuce; but the brand that is hardy and delicious was not in the
grouping of lettuces; so passed for the time being. Oh and 2
petunias...Black Prince (black) and also cheery bright yellow type".

Forgot to say, that we also ended up with a large bright yellow double begonia; and both the tid 6 begonias and bit 6 impatients, ended up being more like 15 to 18 flowers instead of 6 to plant! So, we can 'stretch many' into various pots and planters! Ended up planting a mix of the begonias and impatients in our wrought iron planter that holds 11 small bittidz pots. Looks fabulous, if I say so myself! Also, have set aside some of our pots for 'veggie plants'; and we will consolidate all the soil and save the unused pots. Am looking eagerly forward to doing that fun project tomorrow.

Tonight, we are cooking up a small roast, along with roasted dill buttered potatoes, and it smells so good! Also, I cut 'slits' of garlic into the roast; and that gives the roast beef an even better taste; along with other sprinkled herbed seasonings! Am now enjoying a glass of our 'Roberts Rock' South African Red wine, before we sit down to dinner. Skal! Should mention too, that we bought 3 packaged small roasts from Costco (You can refer to my May 13th post, 'Make the best of a 'dull' day!'); and the other 2 roasts are in the freezer, until needed. We have also packaged the other cuts of meats that we purchased in bulk from Costco. Helps with meal planning, as well as economizing with Costco's good savings!

Tidbit - When you spend time in your tid garden, you feel much better. Particularly, if you have made ready the bit soil and planted fresh flowers, that will bring you joy all summer long; and / or even into the cooler months.

Bittid - 'Do unto others, as you would have others do to you!' Very true; and if you have been 'Blessed' with good neighbours, let them know they are 'special', and that you appreciate them. Am looking forward tomorrow to enjoying some of our neighbour's homemade marmalade jam for breakfast!

It is now a warm 72 degree Fahrenheit; and the sun is bursting forth! A lovely Saturday Spring evening; a great way of ending a day! Love the above photo image; you may have seen this gorgeous rhodo picture in recent posts. ie 'Rainy rhodos!' - May 11th; and 'Flowers mean so much!' - May 13th.

Here is wishing you an awesome evening!

God Bless.
