Garden Update

Hi Everyone,

There are several topics I have been wanting to write about for the past two weeks but they are still simmering on the back burner of my communicative mind. Please forgive the repetition of  my gardening theme.

What I have been doing most is very actively attending to  the never-ending, joyful tasks associated with updating, deadheading, watering and maintaining my flower garden.

I do fierce battle with the aphids ( the green, brown, white and red varieties). I search for the elusive caterpillers who munch on lovely blooms. I resort to forceful watering of plants with whiteflies.

After I am done picking,  pinching back and maintaining, I sit and admire the incredible beauty that God has provided in the intricsies of patterning, color and hue of the flowers. I admire the stradfastness of tender blossoms straining to maintain themself in the harsh ninety degree humid weather. I am the greatest fan and cheerleader for them all.

They reward me by reflowering themselves and holding on until they can once again have cool night time breezes to refurbish their strength.

Here are a few pictures I just took . I hope that you will enjoy the views.

How I Nurture Myself and My Practice-I Create My Garden

In a very few weeks I will share with you pictures of my beautiful flower garden that I create annually on my balcony.

You have already seen several pictures from my past gardens on the www.beyourbliss.info  website.

Today I thought I’d share a few pictures of my work in progress garden.

On Monday I completed planting all of my flower plants into containers.This year I took my time to complete the planting. I have had the  best time getting to know each and every little plant. I have never loved them more.

This is what my balcony looks like before I have arranged all of the pots and the rocks in the rock garden part of the space. The flowers are at their freshest and healthiest young state.

It is such a joy to look at them and care for them.

I hope that you enjoy the mini-show.
