(6 of 9) Growing Tomatoes & Peppers: Pepper Planting, Container Soil, Basic Feeding, Tomato Progress

(6 of 9) Growing Tomatoes & Peppers: 

Pepper Planting, Container Soil, Basic Feeding, Tomato Progress 

This is the 6th video of 9. Peppers and tomatoes like the warmth and generally like to be planted when the nights are in the 50's and the days are in the 70's. Too much nitrogen grows a lot of pepper leaves. While tomatoes love to be fed, a bit less for peppers is better. I talk about some basic fertilizing principles and how to make a basic container soil. I also show you how to plant your peppers in containers and in earth beds. Tomatoes show up in the video to but they will be the star of the next video.

Good Luck with Your Garden,

Romantic Pink Balcony Tea

                                                                     I love having tea on the balcony on
                                                                     sunny spring days as I enjoy the
                                                                     view of ducks swimming on the pond
                                                                     and having a bird's eye view of the garden.

                                                                       I am using my soft feminine pinks
                                                                       today for tea time.

                                                                    A cool glass of pink lemonade
                                                                    is a summer time favorite.

                                                                          Pretty vintage china.

                                                                              Tea and homemade biscuits.

                                                                    Linger awhile and enjoy the sunshine.

                                                         Yesterday was another beautiful day
                                                                    here and I enjoyed doing a pretty
                                                                    Apple Blossom Tea for you~ I will
                                                                    share it shortly.

                                                                   I love this time of the year when there is so
                                                                   much beauty in nature and inspiration abounds.

                                                                                                Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Afternoon Tea

                                                                              Hello everyone,

                                                       
                                                                  It is cool and cloudy here today
                                                                  so I am enjoying my afternoon
                                                                  tea indoors with a bouquet of
                                                                 tulips from our garden.

                                                                     A simple bouquet of tulips
                                                                     brings me joy.

                                                                            Tea in a pretty tea cup also
                                                                            brings pleasure.

                                                                     

     It may not be warm enough for tea

  in the garden today but I can still 

    enjoy the view of the garden from

my window.

I hope your day is sunny and bright!

Garden Beauties

                 Happy weekend!

                 I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

      After doing some garden chores I took

       some close up shots in the garden since

it is a calm overcast day.

         The lupins are just starting to bloom and I love 

           that they grow wild here in fields and ditches as

well as Growing in our garden.

These centura or penennial

          bachelors button seed themselves

                   around the garden. The bees love them.

My early peonies from my

Dad's garden are getting

close to opening.....love

my peonies!

The bleeding hearts are blooming

as well.

    Late tulips and alliums.

                                                                           The rhodo's are just starting
                                                                           as well.

                                                                                 More pretty tulips.

                                                                             This tulip is very
                                                                              unusual ...not sure
                                                                             what it will look like
                                                                             when it opens.

                Alliums also self seed rather freely

and I love them!

                                                Hope you enjoyed some close up
                                                           beauties from our garden. I will be
                                                           back soon with a balcony tea time.

                                                                            Thanks for visiting!

                  Hello everyone,

                 The garden has already changed since these photos were

                           taken a little more then a week ago but I wanted to share these

                           colorful shots before moving on to the June garden. June is my

               favorite month as everything is so lush,fresh and green.

              I love these double tulips.

                                                                     The Hillside Garden ~ a blast of color!

                                                        Well, already it is time to deadhead most
                                                                   of these beauties as the season quickly
                                                                   moves forward. I am excited to see the lilacs
                                                                   and crabapple trees starting to put on their  show.
                                                                   Yesterday,I did a few photo shoots so I will be

Blue & White Tablescape

       Hello everyone,

      I hope your week is going

well.

     A few evenings ago we had

      a few members of our family

for a casual dinner.

I used my blue and white

transferware dishes

and a new blue

and white tablecloth.

I quickly snapped a few

  photos before they arrived.

                                                   Our lilacs are just starting to bloom
                                                              here so I am looking forward to lots
                                                              of fragrant bouquets shortly. I always
                                                              enjoy photographing them so I will share
                                                              them soon.

                                                                                  Hope you enjoy your day!
