Love the color these flowers are giving your garden!

You take such wonderful pictures of your garden! I love getting updates just to see what else is doing so well for you. Thanks!

Donna,
Thank you for the kind words. My garden is my get-away from the world, my place of peace. I find so much beauty and awe in God’s creations. A few years ago I had a home photography business and invested in a decent camera. I learned how to take pictures in relation to light, as that seems to be a key factor for a good picture. I am glad you enjoy my updates.
happy gardening to you and wishing you the best,
Melanie

Melanie,
When my daughter was very little, like 2-3 years old, I bought some cheapo Zinnia seeds at the dollar store. We sprinkled all 20 packs into our little raised bed that surrounded our gorgeous coconut palm. I thought it would just be fun taking her through the process of planting and waiting to see them sprout and grow, but boy was I underestimating the joy of nature as seen though a child’s eyes! We even went as far as to break open a pollinated bloom and harvest the seeds inside and repeat the process. If you havent experienced that, it is a MUST!
Enjoy your Zinnias I always do 🙂

Leigha,
Wow – so fun to experience that with a child! My kids love to see what’s growing in my garden. I have never heard of breaking them open to get the seeds out. I will try it.
thanks for taking the time to share your story and enjoy your zinnias too!

Melanie, your snapshots are absolutely beautiful- right out of God’s garden! You and He made them grow so “there you are”. How people can look at a flower like that and say “there is no God” – there’s something wrong with them. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing a God given gift!! Keep sharing!

Liz,
Yes for sure! There is a God and seeing the beauty of the earth in my garden is one of my joys in life. thanks for the kind words!
wishing you the best!

Beautiful flowers and photos! I planted some flowers this year too and they happen to be the same kind as yours! so far my zinnias haven’t done anything though (those seeds were planted much later). I didn’t know you could break open the zinnia’s for more seeds but I did know that you could for marigolds! It’s exciting!

Ashley,
My sunflowers are getting old and I am pulling them today. I am ready to plant new flowers, just not sure what kind. It is so hot here I need something that does well in the heat. If you have any ideas, let me know.
thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
besh wishes to you,
Melanie
