Hi Petra,
I started all my flowers from babies and now they are grown up! I so love the garden it is peaceful and I have a plaque that says “No place is closer to GOD than in a Garden” I love it.

Stunning! I planted my very first Hydrangea last fall, and I’m so excited to watch it start growing and hopefully blooming! Yours are so pretty. Thanks for stopping by my blog and the “like!”

Thank you so very much. Do you like to garden? I started out with flower boxes in my window before owning a home you can do it too.

I am a new gardener
We bought a home almost two years ago and I’ve been trying my best at keeping my garden of red ginger pretty but I have had trouble with white flies and some other bug, maybe aphids. But I’m now growing flowers so I hope they survive! Haha

Hi,
Use dish soap dilluted in a spray bottle to kill the aphids. Lady bugs are eco freindly and love aphids too plus they are beautiful in the garden.
