Flower Watch

I have 7 flower container arrangements in my yard. During her recent visit, my mom and I went flower shopping (I chose the colours, she chose the flowers). My mom then spent hours arranging my new "babies" in their containers. She used her "lady fingers", and dug around in the soil to find just the right home for each bundle of potential. She examined, dead-headed, watered, moved around some of the bundles again the next day, fertilized, arranged their leaves, admired, watered again, worried about the wind, topped up the soil...and then she went home.

I have been left with some care instructions - watering, fertilizing (every 2-3 weeks, 2 1/2 tbsp of fertilizer with #8 on the water bucket...YES(with a pump of my fist)!) and dead-heading.

So I have decided to post pictures of my flowers here on my blog, so that you (and my mom) can make sure that I'm doing a good job.
