My grandmother used to tell me you have to have more than one garden. The practical vegetable garden fuels your body. And the flowers you plant fuels your soul. Grandpa used to tell us she was more concerned for the health of her soul because she used three times more space for flowers than she did for vegetables.
I agree with grandma. The vegetable garden is necessary work but flowers are a labor of love.
I propagated a lot of flowers in the greenhouse this winter and created 97 lovely mixed pots. Because I didn't force blooms they will get prettier and prettier throughout the summer.
The pots start at $18 and up depending on pot size.

A few weeks ago I wrote about the wreaths my grandmother made using all natural materials she gathered throughout the year. I knew I had one that she made for me my first Christmas in my house (1976). It hung in the dining room for years. When we remodeled in 1990 the wreath was taken down, boxed up and I lost track of it. After I wrote the post I started looking for it. Yesterday I found it in the attic! I had to replace the twine to hang it, the red paint on the gourd is scratched and some of the hickory nuts are cracked but the devil's claws are intact.
And I am flooded with memories of my grandparents...

My grandmother loved everything about Christmas. Every fall she would gather pine cones and acorns, hickory nuts and seed pods. Grandpa wold varnish them and drill small holes in them so grandma could make her creations. Everything was wired onto a wood circle (no glue guns back then). I think my grandmother invented wire ribbon. She wanted puffy bows so she would sew wire onto lengths of fabric that she had starched. It really made her creations so pretty. Of course she had to have color so pretty ornaments would be wired on too. Even though I got a lot of scratches from the wire, I really liked helping grandma. I still love making Christmas decorations and thank goodness for glue guns! I add my own touches...like the hand painted snowmen and lights. I've listed these on Facebook marketplace for $30/each or $50 for the pair.
