Who knew, right?
The roses are in bloom, we've planted basil in a wooden trough and mint in a terra cotta pot! Of course, the MITM has done all the work, I've just arranged flowers and went with him to the garden center to supervise. Those are my strengths and I'm sticking to that story!
I'll post pics of the basil and mint once they've settled in and start looking smart!
The MITM is a very enthusiastic by default the gardener (because I'M the idea person/supervisor) and has been doing a splendid job! We'll have more pictures as our container garden grows! (OK, when HE plants some more.)
IDV, I will be submitting all of these and more photos for this year's Gardening Contest!! Be prepared!
xoxo

*snickering* I knew it would surprise YOU! xoxo
DeleteI'm a big fan of flowers, and now I'm wondering if I can grow some myself.
ReplyDeleteI can't claim to have grown the roses, but we're taking really good care of them now. So many of our fellow bloggers have encouraged me to give it a try, so head on over to your local garden shop and give container growing a try! xoxo
DeleteAt our house, I am you and Carlos is the MITM. He was just outside watering his roses and we're headed to the garden center tomorrow because he'd like more plants to tend to in the yard, while I supervise!

I told the MITM to read this and then I said, "Everybody needs a supervisor!" Thanks, Bob! xoxo
DeleteWow! Our roses here in London are many weeks away from blooming yet. It's a faboo remider of the the joys yet to come, looking at those photos! Jx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon! You were the inspiration for starting our container gardening! The roses are pure good fortune for us,the scent is heavenly! xoxo
DeleteHere, the lilacs are the next treat. I think by week's end we will be whiffing them....
DeleteI'd love to grow lilacs, but they're so not in my future! I'll just have to buy them at Trader Joe's when I see them!
DeleteI can't believe your ahead of the game lambchop!!!!! I think I heard Mr DeVice hit the floor!!!! Our own roses here are very bushy but no blooms yet. But they look to be very promising this season. They are beautiful Savvy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maddie! I can't believe I'll really have some photos this year! The MITM is really doing a wonderful job with the roses. It looks as if we'll have continuous roses all season! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAnother one infected with the gardening virus !
ReplyDeleteYou're right! I should have worn a mask!
DeleteI'm very pleased because my friends keep driving by the house and complimenting the roses. Of course I say, "yes, it's a labor or of love dahling"
