The Wild Flower Garden

We had a raised bed veggie garden for a couple of summers
and really loved it.
However, times got busy around here...
then Mr. Sweet got sick...
and passed...
                  and the garden went to pot.
Sooo, Kathy, David and I decided to forgo the veggies
and plant a wild flower garden.
We did add a few zinnia seeds.


Since we were going for 
THE WILD FLOWER LOOK,
we decided not to worry about
 ALL THE GRASS.....
(play like this is an open country field.... 😊 


....ahhh HA...
there's a few Marigolds hiding out underneath....

I think a bird might have dropped a SUN FLOWER seed here,
because there's only one ...

One day, these gorgeous wild pinks were NOT in this garden...
and the next, THEY WERE/ARE.....
I have no idea what they are....
but look at all the buds about to burst forth.
I can't wait to see that bunch in bloom.

After being outside,
taking pictures...
just enjoying being out,
I had to have a refreshment of some kind.... 


and a 
PINEAPPLE SUNDAE
filled the bill perfectly !!

  2. BJ, I think Deanna may have it right, those pink flowers look like cosmos with the fine green leaves. I planted a flowerbed with wild seeds and the seeds I bought must have been fake..lol..nothing bloomed. I like the wild beds for the butterflies. Oh yummy on the refreshment. LOL..you know how to draw us in. :) Love you girl. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  3. As the other poster said I really think those are cosmos.

  4. I love the Wildflower Garden! I bought packets of wildflower seeds and some of them came up in unusual places. I have marigolds growing between patio stones! I'm going to try again next year. We have an empty flower bed and I thought sure they would grow up but perhaps NOTHING will!

  6. The wildflower garden looks wonderful . . .
    I am sure “the pinks” are cosmos . . .
    Like Lady Bird Johnson said . . .
    “Where flowers bloom . . . so does Hope.”
    Very pretty bj . . .

  7. Oh I really like the idea of a garden of wild flowers. My favorite. I like the cosmos but I would have called them pink daisies.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  12. I don't have a green thumb. The previous owners of my house left landscaping bricks from a previous project they let spiral into madness. A lot of the stones weren't properly set up and it made it difficult to keep the brush under control. Now they're gone and use a lawnmower for the majority.

  14. As everyone said, those are Cosmos. Don't you just love them?? I did the same thing with an old veg bed this year. I absolutely LOVE it, and I agree that the grass (i.e. weeds) are just part of the beauty. I didn't "thin" the plants as they came up, and I don't weed in there, and it is still spectacular. The birds even helped by depositing a few sunflower seeds which are also blooming beautifully. Sometimes the simplest things are the prettiest!

  15. I have a raised bed where we took out a diseased apple tree ... I think I will make it into a wild flower bed instead of knocking it down. Sounds like a good project for next year. Love how yours looks. Hugs, Audrey Z.

  16. Love it, bj. I was telling someone the other day about my ex-SIL's wildflower garden. She started small and eventually did about 3 acres into it. It was amazing to see it all. I don't know what those pink flowers are either but they sure are pretty!

    Hope you have a wonderful, blessed weekend. xo Diana

So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
