Gardening is one of my passions. It is amazing what you get in return for planting flowers...watering them...watching them grow...enjoying their beauty.

I can imagine your butterfly garden will be spectacular!

Good for you and Carl, I got blooms too in my little garden, yea we planted a few flowers then the veggies and fruits.

To make it easy on me I got an auto fixture to turn on/off my watering with the times you set. You may want to look into getting one.

hey Jeannie:

your butterfly garden must look spectacular with all the blooms. gardening & writing blogs are very therupetic to soul

Oh Jeannie...

I am starting a butterfly garden also. John made a small flower bed on the side of the driveway. We have picked out some plants this last weekend. I found a plant called Spanish Lavendar... it is so pretty.. It has a dark purple bloom.. I am hoping next year to line one side of the drive with regular lavendar..

I also have some wild flower mix planted in pots on the deck. I was happy to see the bees this yr. The bees have been dwindling by reports ... but this yr we have a lot of bumble and honey bes.

Gardening is great therapy... physically and mentally .. even if it is just some flower pots on the deck to see the bees and butterflys on the flowers can sure pick up your mood.
