BARRY'S BEAUTIFUL PLANTS
July 28, 2014
By Olivene Godfrey
Early one recent morning, before the summer high temps moved in, Barry took me out to the patio to see our gorgeous, huge plants. The plants used to be mine and I took care of them. When I was no longer able to, Barry took over and each year has done a great job. Then back in the spring, Tam's dad advised Barry to use dry fertilizer. And now the plants are healthy, huge and gorgeous.
In the mornings, the tiny tube - like lilac with a yellow flower bloom on the purple plant which has never been so large and pretty. The red impatient plant is a round ball and the yellow and orange marigolds are over flowing in it's huge container. The geraniums are still pretty, and the asparagus fern is almost beyond belief. It is so thick and huge and a healthy hue of green. The petunias are still lovely, the plant seems to be winding down from a long blooming period.
Barry made pictures of the plants this morning and posted them on Facebook. There's no doubt that Barry has a green thumb and the peace lily inside that we've had for years always has several blooms, I was never able to get a single bloom on it. The season cactus in my office gets the morning sunshine and is huge, and the crape myrtle is a thing of beauty.
This past Saturday, Barry thoroughly cleaned our large double ovens in the kitchen. During the hot weather we've been using the toaster oven. But, Barry and I think the big ovens bake better. Before I became so feeble, I would bake biscuits from scratch and blueberry muffins and other luscious baked goods in the ovens. But, in hot weather, it's better to use the toaster oven as the big ovens get the kitchen too hot, even with the air conditioner on.
See you next time. Comments welcomed. (As told to Tam)
