Flowers, Please.

your thoughts are the seeds.
The harvest can either be flowers or
weeds.”

You’re very welcome, Kathryn. Springtime is right around the corner! But, in the meantime, enjoy the snow….and a warm woolly sheep cocktail. 🙂

My Dear Farm Girl Tonya!
I am very much impressed by this post, the images and the words of Wordsworth.
Tonya I have written a new poem being published on 16th Monday. I am inserting some images of blogger friend’s posts. I would want to insert yours also. The words in the poem are landscape, nature, flowers, art and and so on….
If you give your consent I shall include yours. Please let me know.

Me too – or I would have missed it. I clicked the link on Shiva’s article to get here. I’m going down the line, as he suggested – and it was so nice to see Spring follow Winter (but what, no Spring cocktail? lol)

Beautiful. Though I tend to have more of a brown thumb. (I can turn shine-ola to shit). My grandmother was a great gardener, having moved from farmland in the old country, she could plant a stick in the ground and have a rose bush grow from it.

Many thanks. You’re a hoot! I’m sure you’re a better gardener than you think. My grandfather had the same ability as your grandmother. He enjoyed starting boxwoods from tiny sprigs. I still have a a few that are thriving. 🙂

One of her skills that I wish I could have learned was her ability to go into the woods and pick mushrooms for soup. She could tell the good from the bad with ease.

That is definitely an important skill. I think it’s fun to forage for mushrooms. As a child, I’d help my dad look for morels in the woods in the springtime. Around here the colloquial name for them is wood fish.

It’s a great bloomer–blooming multiple times throughout summer and early autumn, especially if it’s dead-headed. You’re welcome! 🙂

I can’t believe you have time to deadhead with all the other work on the farm! BUT, if you get flowers like these in your garden, I can certainly understand why you’d squeeze it in.

I’m not as consistent with deadheading as I would like. I fit it in when I can, and Farmguy helps sometimes, too. 🙂
