Morning Glories...Again!

 

Good Morning! ...here is a reiteration/ re-vamp of an info/ illustration I did last Spring for fun...(and to use for sharing knowledge!)

(Here's one of the morning glories that bloomed on our porch!)

Can you spot it?

The first strawberry blush! This morning it was still all white, though I thought I saw a slight tinge of pink...and over the course of the day, that blush deepened! So excited for these strawberries.

I really love spending time each day just looking closely at the plants. They are so beautiful and the ways that they all develop and grow are pretty magical. Here are some close looks at some little big events going on in the garden right now.

Little cucumber developing! And many more blossoms opening and closing in overlapping succession as the days go by.

Say what! Yes. There was a maple key lying on the surface of the soil in the little pot, and I suppose with the sun and the rain this guy was able to germinate! Unbeknownst to me, that is, until I saw it a few days ago!

Here it is today, along with a little Nasturtium that I was able to sprout from seed.

And another little maple invader! I'm amazed that these little trees were able to grow simply by lying on soil and taking in some water and sun. That boosts our tree count up by two! Going to have to get some more soil and pots, I think.

Morning glories reaching and twining....I keep wondering which of these little buds/ ends might be flowers. We haven't had the first flower yet, but I'm sure some morning soon we'll walk out and it'll be there, just like how that first strawberry pink snuck up outta nowhere!

A couple sketchy layouts of, and some original artwork from, an info-sheet I'm working on (for fun)! Last November I saw that on the fence of the main community garden in my neighbourhood were a whollllle bunch of dried morning glory seed pods, just waiting to be taken! So, I took some pods, removed the seeds and put them in an envelope until this spring, when I sprouted them, after doing some research into how best to grow them. I found that I had to go to many different pages to get all the info I wanted to find, and thought that it might be helpful to other people in the future if I put some sheets like this together, after I do research on certain topics that I'm interested in. I'm liking the first (top) one, I think, for it's simplicity. Always, I welcome heartily any comments or suggestions you may have!!
