Flowers from a Post Card
It’s Friday Story Time by Lia again and I’ve been thinking up an idea to write about…. I got it! The other day I got a post card in the mail that had seeds in between the paper. It was to celebrate Earth Day but that was April 22nd. We are now into August, I think the card got lost in the mail. But anyway I decided to plant them and hope they grow into beautiful flowers from a post card.
I get excited when I got mail and when I got this post card I was extra excited because I also love flowers and gardening! Now I have to decide where to plant the seed post card.
Since most of our vegetables have finished growing, pop surprised me one day with lots of pinwheels! We “planted” all of them in the garden and it looks so pretty when I look out and see them spinning in the wind. I decided I would plant the flowers with the pinwheels!
First I loosened up the soil and flattened it out until it was smooth. If you’re wondering why I have my jammies on, it’s because I love going outside as soon as I wake up and that’s when I was doing my planting.
The soil was all prepared and next I put the seed post card on it and carefully covered it with a thin layer of soil I had pushed of to the side. After I covered the card, I patted the soil to make sure the card was fully covered.
The Earth Day seeds are planted and next I watered them. Now all I have to do is wait and watch to see if they will grow. So I can remember where I planted the seeds I put one of my garden owl statues over the spot where hopefully the flowers will grow.
I planted all kinds of wild flowers this spring and they grew into beautiful flowers. Ma had saved an old wheel barrow from the landfill last year and I turned it into a flower garden! These are some of the wild flowers that grew, aren’t they pretty? I hope the Earth Day flowers from a post card will grow beautiful also!
Now that the flower seeds are planted I have to think of something else to do today! Oh and don’t forget, FOURTEEN more days until I make a surprise blog announcement and 17 more days until I turn THREE YEARS OLD!
Glad to see Lia’s been busy planting!
Lia loves gardening Roy! She had a great flower and vegetable garden this past year.
What a great story! And I love the pictures. Someone has the pose of a teenager already! Ms Sassy Pants!
Can’t wait to hear how those seeds bloom!

Lia is quite the gardener. I love the garden owl statue. And all the flowers are blooming. So pretty.
Lia loves gardening Marc! The owl is actually a solar light so he shines and protects her garden at night!
I love the flowers Lia. You did a great job preparing your garden. What beautiful flowers and the pin wheels you placed in there. The wheel barrow idea was a great idea.
Lia loves gardening Thelma and i love her wild flower wheel barrow garden!
Omg Lia, love your idea of planting real flowers with the pinwheel flowers! Nice Pokémon outfit, soooo comfy and cute! I’m excited for your upcoming birthday and surprise announcement. Thank you for sharing, sending lots of love! Jaime
