Re: Joseph’s Favorite Daffodils
Thanks for this post celebrating daffodils. I love them all.

Re: Container Before and After
Thank you for your kind words. I love fuchsias and the three in this container are my top favourites. I think cupheas and russelias would look amazing mixed with succulents. Kinda makes me think "what are we going to plant in our summer containers this year?" Happy gardening!

Re: Container Before and After
Thank you! I hope you plant yourself a gorgeous mixed container this year. As I mentioned to gardendevas, the succulents were planted together with the other plants. The mixture is 40% potting soil 10% compost 50% pumice. Unless it's extremely hot, I only water the rim especially where the fuchsias are. Seemed to work. Of course, you can always stick your finger in the soil or use a meter to check moisture. Have fun and hope to see your gorgeous pot at GPOD sometime in the future.

Re: Winter at the Fern Fairway
Thanks. LOL to your comments. Not sure if you’re a bargain hunter but if you’re very patient, looking up sales from Craigslist, Facebook Markerplace and yard sales over the years has been fruitful and budget friendly for me. I make it a point to check out the clearance section of my favourite nurseries too. If we were neighbours we could go out searching together. Wishing you a fun gardening year!

Re: Winter at the Fern Fairway
Thank you and we can thank my good friend Gord for teaching and inspiring me with the wreath design. I’m looking forward to learning more of his gardening secrets.
