My gardening

Today I wanted to share some pictures of my plantings of seeds and flowers. We got lots of window boxes: most of them are for the front of the house and some of for the back. I bought too many geraniums because this year, I have decided to mix them up with other flowers like lantanas and other hanging flowers. But of course, I had forgot my new plans when I went to the store so I decided to add window boxes for the back of the house as well. Unfortunately, the weather is still going backward so it's really cold right now. Here are my window boxes ready for summer. (click to enlarge)

On the next picture, you can see all my seedlings. ( click to enlarge). But because of the weather, they are vegetating. It's really bad because they had started to grow so well when the weather got warmer ...

Barbara wanted to know what I planted. As you can see, I used some clear plastic boxes as nuseries. I have quite a lot: phlox, sweet williams, carnations, centaurea, clarkia, wallflower, zinnias, snap dragons, hollyhocks, godetias, african daisies, ficoide, and sunflowers. ( you can click on each flower name to see what they look like if you want to). Hopefully, we'll get a great garden one day ... if the warm weather decide to change its mind ...

Sharon, I also planted some gazanias but with the lack of sun, the flowers don't want to open. I'll take a picture when the sun will want to be a little nicer with us .

I'm stitching more so here my latest progress:

Thanks for stopping by !!!

I'm here !!!!

I still don't have a lot of time to blog and spend a lot of time on the internet so I'm still very late in my blog comments. I check your beautiful work in my google reader but can't really comment. We are still at my parents's while they are on vacations with Pierre and Emma. They are doing well and they are lucky to have a better weather than us. (not fair .... ) Once again, my mom is disapointed by my brother's behavior so I'm not sure they will go back next year (even though she already said that last year ... )

I took time to take some pictures of my little garden this morning. I want to show my yellow rose that has some pink around the each petal. Click to enlarge to see better. This is our first pink rose. I wasn't sure it will bloom this year as we planted it in may.

And this is a view of my three rose bushes. I planted some red impatiens to make a border.

And this is my glaieuls; they were all supposed only this color:

Closer view:

But surprise:

We got some orange as well ! That's why I may not buy my flowers in a supermarket next year ....

And this is a view of the house with our flower on the windows. The neighnor's house seems so empty close to ours because he has no flower at all !!!

We planted some cosmos flowers along our wall with our neighbor but not all of them grew that much. Maybe we waited too long to sow the cosmos seeds.

We have also some Centaurea. Emma had sown some seeds and here they are. But it took us to time to plant them so not all are as tall as the ones you see. They can be blue, purple, dark purple or pink but we got mostly purple ones.

My squirrel? still here of course. I got so tired of the 1/2 on the top that I gave up that part to stitch the bottom where they are still plenty of 2/2. I know I'm going to pay that big time after I'm done with the 2/2 so get ready for a lot of whinning in the coming weeks !!! Well that is if I have time to blog ! lol ( click to enlarge ) And if you feel you missed all the stages of the squirrel, you can see the daily picture here in my webshot gallery !

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope I'll have more time soon to stop by your blogs to see your progress.
