Garden, Baby, and a Potting Bench..

 I just returned from CA. where I met my first ever Grandson!
He's the finest little fellow a person could ever want!
 My new title is Gramsey...borrowed from my book "Mamsey Bear and Mopkin"

         One of the Gardens was in full bloom when I left town
 It was quite an overgrown mess when I returned.
Time to pull the daisies and poppies and plant the Peppers!
 It has been so dandy having the new Potting Bench James built for me using an antique cast iron sink, old windows and chunky old table legs.

He's a mighty good man!


oops! Now how did that picture get in there?!


This potting bench holds everything!
  The flowers have been growing so well this year, that a new bouquet is possible every few days>>>
 Penstemon, Canterbury Bells, Love in a Mist, and Foxglove.
 Flanders Poppies, Daisy and Primrose
.
Larkspur, Peony, Pansy, Allium, Rose and Sweet Pea.

oh my gosh...there's that baby again!


He must have heard me say Sweet Pea...cuz that's what  I call him



Larkspur, Queen Annes Lace,Forget Me not, Yellow Pansy.


There's been a lot of seed to collect already.


 It's going to be a wonderful summer!

.

It's going to be a wonderful life!

  3. Congratulations! He looks like a keeper! What a cutie. I want your potting bench sink in my kitchen:-) Those are the best. Your flowers are gorgeous. My garden is in an in-between stage at the moment. Things are all green but past spring flowers and prior to veggie harvest. Lavender is just opening so I'll have that soon.

  4. Such a precious grand baby! I know you must want to be with him all the time.
    I hope you have better luck with planting veggies. My tomatoes were doing so well and now one plant is turning completely yellow. Maybe too much rain?
    I need a potting bench and would love to have one just like yours. So enjoy reading your blog.

  5. Sweet pea is a very fitting name for Mamsey to call this little one. And I adore that potting bench that James built for you! Fits right in on your porch!

  14. I just can't get over that baby. He is just too cute! Unlike so many babies who really do generally look a lot alike, he seems to have a real personality even at this young age.

  15. Hello, I just discovered your blog and loved it!!! You have an adorable little boy there but he is so far away. I hope you get to see him often. I read somewhere that grandchildren are the reward for not killing our teenagers. I am Lynn H. On YouTube. I was looking for a way to tell you that I own the Herb book and you're right, it is wonderful. There are two older books that you might want to look for, they're both by Phyllis V. Shaudys, Herbal Treasures and The Pleasure of Herbs. They are both month-to-month guides for growing and using herbs. I think you would love them if you don't already have them.

  23. Your blog on Garden, Baby, and a Potting Bench is a delightful blend of nature, family, and creativity. It's like cultivating a garden of memories, much akin to the sweet satisfaction found in a 'nothing bundt cakes coupon $5 off' - a small joy that adds a touch of sweetness to life. Thanks for sharing this heartwarming and inspiring journey!
