Hi Rita,

Just gave myself a good laugh! I read ‘ostrich feathers’ and then was shocked that they ‘spread so rapidly!’ I imagined all these ostriches in your backyard! And now I’m a little disappointed that it is just Ostrich ferns! 😁 Anyway, I agree that tulips are just a lovely flower! In fact, there are very few flowers I don’t enjoy, though I don’t grow roses. Just a little too persnickety for me.

Have a wonderful day!

My favorite cut Flowers are tulips because they are so long lasting. I like to put ostrich ferns with them because they spread so rapidly in my garden and fill the empty spaces in my vase so well.
I love to read your whole blog when it arrives- so many lovely ideas to make and try. Thank you.

Hey there Friend!!!

How are you all doing? All your kids home?

I actually started them all from pots and yes, they are all in one pot. I say they ‘are’, but I’m not 100% sure since we’ve moved! But, that being said, we didn’t have deer there and so can’t speak to the deer. However, we did have bunnies and they didn’t seem to bother the plants. Where we are now, even in the same neighborhood, we do have plenty of deer, so I am figuring out what plants deer will leave. Once I figure it out, I’ll let you know.

Hugs to your family and hope to see you in the fall.

Good morning Lynn. Thank you for this post, it is inspiring me to make an cutting garden. All the flowers you mentioned to do love. So did you or do you suggest to stray all of these from seeds or ones in pots? And do you have them all in one planting plot? We have a lot of deer and rabbits around, not sure how much they will bother the flowers..?..
Thank you and have a great weekend.

Anne

In reply to Nan Caison. Aw, thanks my very sweet friend. I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands in the dirt this spring. Once May rolls around, you will have so much more time to get dirty! Hugs, Lynn

What a lovely story…your dad inspiring you to garden has come full circle hasn’t it? I will be so sorry to leave all the gardens we’ve planted over the years when our house sells, I may just have to sneak a few plants to go with me.

Thanks for swinging by Linda!

Hugs, Lynn

I love to be able to go out and into the garden for cut flowers. I’m working on that at this house we are in now. I had just gotten my flower beds how I wanted at the other house and pretty much year around I had some kind of flower or plant that I could cut to take to the cemetary. I lived taking fresh flowers that I had grown to my dad’s grave site. He is the one that got me into gardening.

In reply to Betsy.

Thanks for stopping by Betsy! I really do enjoy both my cutting garden, as well as my container gardens and so glad that I might have given you a few ideas! That’s surely my goal.

Good luck with your gardening…it’s a beautiful day here and hope it is where you are as well.

Many Hugs, Lynn
