    Weeding is what children are for!

    I love the floribund roses. They make me swoon! And the medieval garden too. I love that idea.

    You have such a lovely blog! It is so nice to visit from a metropolitan area suburb. A glimpse into another lifestyle. Thank you.

    Such pretty flowers! I love the snapdragons and violas together. We've been slowly turning our front yard into a flower garden at my daughter's request, and the blossoms always make me cheerful! I've got some double-ruffled apricot nasturtiums just started - can't wait to see them in bloom!

    I keep meaning to ask how you're enjoying The Child's Fairy Geography. I am very curious about it!

    Faith ~ I *wish* my children would help weed! Quite frankly, I'm in over my head this year. Probably 1/2 of our little acre is gardens this year & it's seriously a full-time job to keep up with the weeding!

    Also, our medieval garden has largely been a disappointment. Starting everything from seed was not the best idea as many of the herbs are *VERY* slow-growing or difficult to germinate, and many newly transplanted seedlings got choked out by weeds because I simply couldn't manage it all. We won't be able to do all I'd hooped with the garden, but I'll keep trying!

    G ~ The nasturtiums sound so pretty, best of luck with your flower garden!

    We're enjoying The Child's Fairy Geography very much (well, *I'm* enjoying it - the kids find it a little boring at times, but then everything bores them!) I have so many ideas on how to use the book, I'll be very excited to explore them more once we resume school (we're on a break for another week or so).
