A new gardener?

Avery about 5 hours old 7-9-09 Our family has happily grown.  Our first grandchild joined us yesterday – here she is about 5 hours old.

This proud grandma already has visions of gardening side-by-side with her granddaughter – when she gets bigger of course.  Hmmm … I wonder just how small in size gardening gloves come.

Joene (or shall I start calling you grandma !),

Congratulations, she looks beautiful and so peaceful. What a lucky girl to have been born into such a loving environment. One day she'll look back with fond memories on her time spent gardening with her grandmother.

Enjoy.

Congratulations! Look at that precious rosebud mouth. I have lovely memories of my grandmother's extensive flower garden and wandering through it as a child. And of time spent with my grandfather in our garden. She's a lucky girl.

I also have memories of gardening with grandparents, on both sides of my family. Only time will tell whether the gardening gene has passed to another generation.

It's a good thing Grandma can teach her because mama is not great w/ plants :) . i'm sure macbeth won't mind chewing on teeny gardening gloves!

  • A Connecticut garden in May:
    • joenesgarden: Laurrie, I hope you share photos of all these buds when they are in full bloom then I can enjoy yours when mine have passed peak.
    • Laurrie: Your blooms are lovely and precocious I think! Like Layanee's, my clematis is only in bud, yours are so much further along. And my iris (I have Beverly Sills too) is only budding, nowhere near open yet. How different each garden is, even in the same general area. Happy Spring!
    • Layanee: Your clematis are so much further along than mine. Mine are still in bud but I do have high hopes of blooms soon. It is a lusty month of May this year isn't it?
    • The Sage Butterfly: There are lovely, lovely attendees to your garden party. The irises are spectacular. I just love this time of year. Happy GBBD!
  • Butterfly watching:
    • Heather: How sweet! And I love mum-mum instead of grandma. My mom goes by Meemaw. :)
    • joenesgarden: Debbie, when my boys were teens they complained about garden and yard work. Now, as adults, they seek my advice on how to do these things properly. Sometimes guidance pays off.
    • Debbie: Wow, Avery's two already? I feel old! There really is nothing like gardening with a young child. Today I had my teenage sons in the garden with me - complaining about pruning and 'having' to work with me on Mother's Day, while my neighbor was out in her garden with her 2-year old daughter planting...
  • Love Cilantro? You Can Grow That!:
    • joenesgarden: Jeannie, the plants do not like heat. You don't say where you are gardening but if you can start seeds in time for cilantro to mature in cool temperatures you may have success. Good luck.
