I will keep posting pictures, big changes in the deck garden occurred today, stay tuned!

I have thought about growing carrots before but never followed through. Good luck!!!Plano Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522569247980732916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-55025646085241234672018-05-16T05:32:50.966-05:002018-05-16T05:32:50.966-05:00I'm so sad hearing what an ordeal Mother's...I'm so sad hearing what an ordeal Mother's day has been for you. I had an awful day the year one immediately after my mum had died, but generally I am able to enjoy them. My grown up kids usually turn up with flowers or chocolate, someone who is not me cooks and clears up, low key but nice. I don't think it should be about big extravagant gifts, a card the kids made is lovely enough when they are little. <br />I've never had much success with carrots but with your tips I think I'd like to give them a try again this year - fingers crossed!

I didn't join a CSA farm this summer so I know I will be wanting fresh herbs. I'm amazed that carrots will grow in a bucket ( but I'm not much of a gardener) love the idea.gluten Free A_Z Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651624214552275164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-76003386142719625152018-05-15T01:14:16.311-05:002018-05-15T01:14:16.311-05:00Bonjour chère amie,

J'aurais dû les éclaircir !<br />J'adore les carottes sous toutes les formes.<br />Un petit billet qui devrait donner le sourire et rendre tout le monde aimable ! et je ne parlerai pas des "fesses roses" ! sourire...<br /><br />Gros bisousmartinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-72118347218944744272018-05-14T18:16:28.114-05:002018-05-14T18:16:28.114-05:00Pattie, so sorry to hear that Mother's Day has...Pattie, so sorry to hear that Mother's Day has such a negative feel for you - maybe someday that will change? Mother's Day is pretty hyped up - a way for retailers to make an extra buck or two if you ask me. And it's easy to fall into that trap of feeling like we should be pampered...that said, it can never get easy to miss our loved ones and sounds you got a major double whammy. Hang in there! Gardening has always been cathartic for my mother - she was dealt a pretty crappy hand in life - and she eats quite well on the veggies she grows.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15066210483640829174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-60188045495250805282018-05-13T21:04:19.699-05:002018-05-13T21:04:19.699-05:00Always nice to spend the day gardening.

Margaritas are always available at any time of the year, so keep that in mind. Mother’s Day is the day when it’s generally safe to plant pretty much anything, but today it’s already 90°, so I hope it’s not too hot for carrot planting. We’ll see what happens. I appreciate your kind comments, I did get very sweet acknowledgments of Mother’s Day from both of my sons, so I really shouldn’t complain. Sometimes though, it just feels good to get it out.

If I lived close I’d come over and celebrate your carrot planting with a margarita with Meyer lemon juice from your tree. 😊 I wish you lot of luck with the carrots. I have that lovely lacy foliage in my garden right now, but alas, no carrots are forming. I think I started them too late for zone 8. I also love seed packets and am a sucker for the descriptions of plants! Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.com
