Love to see pictures of your garden and especially the ones with Alfie in the garden. Your bougies are such prolific bloomers. What do you feed bloom?

Roselee, I love the way you think! What a fun, interesting way to look at the photos.

Yeah, why do we love to look at the pet pictures? I think it is because they never fail to make us smile.

I love the 'Alfie in the blooms' pictures!

What made me smile today is your wonderful assortment of garden photos. I love viewing them.

Linda, I fertilize the bougainvillea a lot! Since you asked here's the details:

When I bring them out of the greenhouse for the summer I put a two year fertilizer pellet down into the soil of the pots, which are 2 to 3 gal. in size. After the bougies leaf out I sprinkle about 1/8 cup of time release granules on top of the soil and repeat this a couple of times throughout the growing season. Every two to four weeks I put a tablespoon of the blue/green soluble powder formulated for blooms in the pot and water it in.

Keep in mind these are mature plants. I've had some of them for 15 or 20 years. A younger plant would not require as much to bloom. They bloom best in full sun which means they have to be watered at least every other day when we get those 100 degree plus temps. I re-pot them about every 3 to 4 years.

Carol, we do love our pets, eh?

Pam, Alfie is in that flower bed for a reason. He eats the blackfoot daisy flowers, but not so many that you can tell. And like a little kid jumping in a pile of leaves he dives into the 'Little bunny dwarf fountain grass' just for fun. Oh well, it can take it ... :-)

Molly, thanks for your comment!

Alphie has really grown up. I remember his puppy pics- he's adorable :-)

I'm a sucker for rain lilies! Especially pure white ones, which I do not have. Beautiful, Omar! Will you get seeds from those white ones? In a few weeks, would you be willing to share? I'd be so happy to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

I love Alfies pic with duck.

Sure, Carol. Send me a message with your address.

Love all the pics!
