  4. I am so jealous! We are in the dead of winter here in Nebraska, USA. My boys and are very much the out-doorsy kind and all this snow and cold is starting to get to us...instead of cabin-fever, we have cabin-craziness!! Your hibiscus are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for giving me a taste of life and spring in my dead and wintery hemisphere!

  6. I didn't see a weed at all. Great plants, yes, but great gardeners. Do you grow all your own herbs? Do you use that food for your business?

  8. That all looks great, I'm afraid our garden hasn't fared terribly well during this summer and is all looking a bit frizzled! Obviously lots of TLC at your place :-)

  9. My husband was a landscape gardener for 17 years and now he has enjoyed creating his own garden around our home. He is so amazing is nurturing the plants and keeping everything looking marvelous! I cannot take much credit for the garden, except for preparing the soil for the veggie garden and keeping the water up!

    Mindy all the herbs were planted from seeds!

  11. Hi Sarah,
    Your garden really is blooming, isn't it?

    I love the hibiscus - they won't grow here, as it's too frosty during winter.

    Have a great week,
    Blessings

  12. I love your quote of the week. absolutely love it. I am so looking forward to warmer weather here in Southern California to start some planting. I have a few hibiscus and I used to have the butterfly bush. I loved that plant. Those purple blooms... so gorgeous. I love your outlook and servant's heart. Have a fabulous weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and nice to "meet" you. A B&B. . .how very interesting to greet so many different people and a definite ministry I'm sure.
    Blessings!

  17. Amazing veggie patch! Is it hard to get them growing? And you're growing a huge variety of different veggies too which is great.

    Tell Joshua I said well done!

  18. Most of the veggies were planted from seed Jen, then all you have to do is keep the water up and pull out a few weeds!

    Are you thinking of planting some veggies Jen! Thanks for commenting!
