The City Boy and Mother Nature Part 2



Being a city boy I always feel a
big accomplishment when I see a flower blooming from a seed or cutting
that I started and at the same time I get impatient waiting for that to
happen but I have learned you can't/don't rush Mother Nature! This a
series of pictures
of a morning glory vine that I am
still waiting to bloom but just seeing how it has grown since March,
when I planted the seeds, makes me smile but didn't realize it would get
behind the screen and start blocking out the sun--well not yet!


   
  

******************************************************************

Then there are the marigolds which I have to thin out      
   



******************************************************************

And
then there are the daisies, begonias, a couple of pots that I didn't
mark and I will just have to wait until they bloom and be surprised! LOL

      

Last, but not least, things are growing all over the apartment!

    

   

And then there is my aloe plant which is slowly taking over the world!



 

*****************************************************************

"If you have made mistakes...

there is always another chance for you.

You may have a fresh start at any moment

you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not

the flling down, but the staying down."

Mary Pickford, 1893-1979  American Actress

Nice work, city boy! That aloe plant is going to have to undergo a trim though. It's starting to remind me of an octopus.

I'm just going to have to learn how to post photos. Believe me, I've tried. I think it's because of dial-up. And stupidity.

It's stupidity I know--I've been there
Actually I post them at another site than C & P them here.

I like marigolds quite a bit, thought they'd be perfect here in the yard, but the ground squirrels love to eat the flowers, so we had to think of something else.

My apartment is to high for the squirrels--they would rather climb the trees!
