Birthday Flowers!

Plant your own garden and decorate your soul instead waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

It’s taken me thirty six years to realize that I can order the flowers I want on my birthday! I discovered this darling flower shop, Magnolia Flower Shoppe and ordered my very own bouquet of pink flowers for my birthday. I love it and couldn’t resist sharing it here!

Birthday Bouquet

I woke up to a warm spring day, and already my daughter Stella and I have fertilized most of the citrus trees. This week we planted ruby slippers, more kangaroo paws, saco palms (which are stunning; I’m so glad I discovered these), flax, white ice land poppies and sweet peas. I’ve also started (finally) putting down ground cover, under the plumeria. The bulbs are spiking up, eager to bloom and I can’t wait to see what they all look like.

My onions aren’t done, and I wonder if anything is wrong with them. I need to go back and check when I planted, calculate when they should be done. Does anyone have a good system for keeping track of plantings? Anything digital? I have dates written on scraps of paper in many places…I need one good system to keep track of plantings, fertilizing, etc. Perhaps a good goal for my new year.

I believe in getting a breath of fresh air. I believe in getting my hands dirty, and letting my children get theirs dirty too. I believe in understanding where our food comes from. I believe in wind, rain, sunshine and above all, a force greater than any human mind can imagine. I believe in stopping to smell the roses — or the dahlias, verbenas, lilies, rosemary’s, heck, even the tomatoes!
