Want to know what ELSE I got?
(yeah- I know- poor English skills!;>)
I have mostly perennials (lots of hostas) this year .
I only have a few
annuals.
However, later today I am going
FLOWER SHOPPING.
I have some planters to fill.
This one is in an old copper wash tub
and I can see it needs sprucing up
a bit-past prime blooms.
Yep- It needs deadheading.
Want to know what ELSE I have?
I do have some gorgeous hosta plants.
I have some BLUEtiful Columbines.
I have some plants waiting to bloom.
Phlox, I think.
And....You know what ELSE I got?
I gotta PEA!
One lone little pea plant.
Where the heck did THAT come from?
So, when I rush into the house saying
I GOTTA PEA
everyone scrambles to clear a path
so I have a clear shot to the
powder room.
If you don't know WHY-well, if
you live long enough you WILL know.
Remember the kid's song?
I got a carrot
I got a yam
I got a green bean fresh
not from a can
Got a potato and as you can probably see
I also got a pea.
I got a pea, I got a pea
Why is everyone laughing at me?
So if you find a little pea
On the Floor when I leave
It most probably belongs to me.
Yeah- Got it now?
If you are very good and promise
not to torment the baby bunnies
that eat your plants to the ground,
next week I will share
part of my girl's gone wild trip!
Have a wonderful Friday and
blessed weekend~

This is me, completely rearranging my plans for a quick trip to the bank, to include a detour by LOWES and some tomato plants. We have had tomato POTS out by the weatherbush for almost all our years here, for the first five or six years when we plowed our garden, set out a dozen plants or so, and watched them get tall as me, then absolutely MELT into the ground from the root up
An accidental glance in a Martha Stewart magazine apprised me that "YOU CANNOT PLANT TOMATOES WITHIN 100 FEET OF A WALNUT TREE." And realization came that those little round green things the squirrels tossed about the yard came from the WALNUT tree on our fenceline. Thus pots, cause I like the tree.
And so our Botany lesson for the day. I'm swapping that for your nifty, witty POEM. Have a frabjous weekend!!! Our Sunday will be spent at Sweetpea's graduation, and I'm surprising her with a new outfit---she hasn't seen me in a dress since that Teaparty at her Elementary school. My best foot forward (new white sandals too) for such an auspicious occasion. Hugs from the Heartland!
LOL... I did not know that song, but DO remember my dad telling us, at the dinner table, to eat every bean and pea on our plates!! We always laughed!! Thanks for the giggles, Diana, and I can't wait to read about your girls' day out!! xo
You're too funny! I appreciate the smiles today.. I need some more humor in my life. We all need to smile more! Your flowers are lovely. They make me smile too!
That's such a cute song and a very fun post! Thanks for this mornings smile!
Hope your trip was fun with the girls. Thanks for the laugh. Hugs. Kris
I never heard that song, of course now, I can't unhear it!! Haha! Can't wait to hear about the girls' trip!! xxoo
Love to hear you so excited about that little pea!! And yes, folks need to get out of my way when I say that.
I never heard that one before! Cute.
Pretty pics. Enjoy the peas!!!
Maybe a little bird planted the pea plant? Have fun with your plants. Can't wait to hear about your girls trip!
I don't remember this song, though I should at my age! My favorite are your beautiful Columbines!
Amazing Hosta plant HUGE But the Columbines are so dainty!
But when you gotta go, you gotta go (smiles)
I'd not come across this song before ...
Hope your flower shopping went well.
All the best Jan
...I have thousands, yes thousands of hosta. There was a time when I thought that I needed every variety out there. What a crazy thought!!!
lol! Glad you’re having some garden fun! Peas and all! I was thinking of planting a couple tomato plants this weekend.. but I think I’ve decided not too.. I can buy them at the farm stand down the street. I bet I can get some peas there too ! lol!
(This is Vivian btw! 😊)
Oh what fun!!! That made me think of this old rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. I could probably come up with some other "pea" thoughts, but probably best to leave it at that. I love all your flowers, and also the pea pot. Fun fun fun
This is cute and really tons of fun! Oh the flowers! Now you'll have to share what you found!
That's one I never heard. :)
I've definitely been there done that with clear a path because I need a straight shot to the bathroom...lol
All your plants look good. I don't do annuals. I'm too cheap and i hate gardening so I only want to plant something once
I read this earkier in my PHONE but I can't seem to comment from there! I do so love you, Diana and your glorious sense of humor!!
Cute song! You are a funny one!
Yeah...I'm in the know! lolol
Happy week sweet lady!
hugs
Donna
Great fun and I've never read or heard that before about the veg and the pea. though I have heard of the Princess and the Pea.
