This is what's happening at the School of Yard Knocks this Fertilizer Friday:
Wave petunias in a whiskey barrel. I bought these at the end of June for $6 for two packages at Canadian Tire. They were pretty sad looking when I bought them, but I'm hopeful they will still flourish.
More of my bargain wave petunias:
My Therese Bugnet rugrosa finished her first round of blooms about 7-10 days ago, but is putting out new flowers again.
My beloved yarrow:
I have tomatoes! I'm embarassed to say that I didn't even know I had baby tomatoes until I took my camera out there today to take these pictures.
I also have baby zucchini! This is one of the yellow ones, but I also have baby green ones.
My patty pan squash plants are HUGE and putting out the blooms:
Two barrels of petunias in the foreground. They don't get a lot of sun, but I'm hoping they'll still get a little bigger.
My clematis really does have buds! I can't wait for them to open.
The first raspberries are *almost* ready (I had one the other day, and they are still on the sour side, but I couldn't resist).
What's happening in your garden this Friday?

Everything looks great! What are patty pan squash?
Thanks for visiting! Patty pan are also known as scallop or Sunburst squash. I think "patty pan" is fun, so I call them that. I grew them last year too: Patty Pan Squash Super easy to grow, fair yields, yummy.
Jacki, thanks for responding to my question about Patti Pan squash. It's a new variety to me. Did you find a recipe you like?
They're also quite good on the bbq. If they're small enough, you can do them whole (prick with a fork); bigger ones cut in half. Brush with olive oil and season to your heart's content. I'm not a big fan of steamed veggies in general, so any other way is pretty good, lol
thanks for linking in this week. I am always in awe of all the different flowers everyone flaunts. It is a pleasure to tour and see all the gorgeous blooms...and I always enjoy stopping by here! I hope you will link in again soon!
