I bought this hydrangia last year at Walmart on clearance for $7.00 .. the flowers were blue, but now they are lavender..I keep putting coffee grounds around it to make the soil more acidic.. hopefully I will get blue flowers !
My favorite garden decoration is this wrought iron bicycle my sister in law sent me from Connecticut.. Its got a basket in the front for a plant and a flat area on the back for a pot.
here it is ! I finished sewing in the ends last week..just have been too busy to photograph it !
My flowers are starting to bloom in this garden around our mailbox..
Japanese beetles are back..Geez,,I hate those little bugs !

The blanket came out beautiful! I love all the colors. And your flowers are looking lovely; I admire anyone who can grow them. I grow only the plastic kind :-)

The blanket is gorgeous. WOW!! Beautiful gardens too. I know exactly what you mean about the Japanese beetles. I think we got ahead of them this year with Sevin spray because our plum trees still have leaves. :)

What gorgeous photos of your garden! LOVE the bicycle planter! Your blanket is really lovely! It's similar to a cherished blanket my Grandmother made me years ago. Stopping by from Funky Junk's Saturday Nite Special. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThrow some pennies in the soil around your hydrangea, it's supposed to help turn them blue.
Fantastic color choices! Found you from Sundae Scoop!
ReplyDeleteThat is one GORGEOUS blanket! I saw it on one of the link parties, and I HAD to visit your blog to check it out. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Do you have a pattern?
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blanket. I have a bike in the garden also but the flowers didn't do so great. I like yours, though. I live in Connecticut, too. Best wishes, LInda
ReplyDeleteI know this is a long time since your original post, but any time you peel citrus fruits, drop the peel in a bucket of water, and use that water to feed your hydrangeas. The citric acid in the peel does an amazing job acidifying the soil and turning your hydrangeas blue.
