🌿🪻🌿 Over the past weekend, We hit the lavendar garden and got to work clipping away before all this rain was geared up to hit us.. So glad we did !!

🪻 We definitely had a very relaxing time clipping away. We had fuzzy little bumble beez flying around trying hard to get the last flower, lol. They however, did not bother us at all, we were just careful where and when we made a cut haha.

🪻 The aroma is absolutely blissful, and it was definitely a quiet and peaceful moment in the garden.

🪻 Our basket was soon completely filled with tied lavender from the season. We will have a few more flowers grow from now to fall, but not an abundance as we just had.

🪻 It's a sad moment cutting lavender, because the once beautiful blooming rows of purple is now gone and all that remains are little green balls 🤣

🪻 Now, we get busy, creative, and thankful for a lovely harvest if lavender 💜

🪻 Happy Thursday everyone !!

🌿🏵🌿 This past weekend, we had some fun out in our trial rows of Zinnias.. These guys are little warriors, because we definitely did not get them off to a good start, lol.

🏵 1- We started the seeding process inside in March to prepare them for outdoor planting.
Not 100% sure I will do this next spring.. There are definitely benefits to starting inside, but can work just the same if not better, if directly sowed outside..

🏵 2- We definitely had an early spring, but I hesitated planting anything outside until the threat of frost was gone.. We didn't fare out so good last year, so they had a later start in the ground.

🏵 3- Rain... Holy cow have we gotten rain... If we weren't flooded in it... We couldn't garden in it.. it's been crazy here with weather, and if it's not raining, it's beyond dry, dry, dry..

🏵 4- Wind... We live on the water, and I can't explain how bad the wind is down here.. If you walked in front of our home, there's no wind.. If you turned around and walked to the back, you might fly away 🤣, So the wind can definitely shorten the growing process to our flowers, so we continue to be creative, and prepare for next year!

🏵 5- And... The biggest struggle of them all... Those bestie Japanese Beetles 😡 It's always a battle...

🏵 6- Last but not least, trimming is important for strong growth, get out there and pinch the flowers to grow many more on a stem and reap the rewards 😁

🏵 Here is our first little bundle we gathered, not the prettiest yet! But aa mentioned, this year is all trial and error. We are struggling with mother nature, and we will beat her at her game 😉

🌿🪻🌿 Have we ever told you how much we just love lavender and all the benefits that lavender can provide ?
We planted our beautiful lavender rows 2 years ago, and started to add a new creation to our little oasis. Here is our story;
🪻 We hosted a Glengarry Mini Tour with our main Company Seaway Charters - Your Local Transportation, and provided an incredible group with a tour of a few fabulous "Gems" in rural Glengarry.
🪻 One of the tours landed at us at an absolutely beautiful and very picturesque landscaping of rolling fields and row after row of luscious Lavender.. One cannot explain the feeling you get when you've met your peace maker and for me.. Its a field of Lavender..
The aroma, the calmness, the absolutely beautiful scent and color it shares with us, is so relaxing and calming.. Giving one, especially myself, a sense of relaxation, and calmness.. I told David, get ready, because I just ordered a whole pile of Lavender plants to plant mini Lavendar Rows in our garden at home 🤣.
And so the fun began...
🪻 We now have 3 beautiful healthy rows of Lavender to enjoy in our yard. The vibrant colors of white & purple completes our garden, let alone the stress free, mind free zone it brings to our garden is what gardening should be all about.
🪻 Benefits: Not only does Lavender bring one peace and calmness, but it's also used for Baking, Juices, Ice Cream and not to mention, Natural Oils, Room Freshners, Soaps, Herbal Teas.. The list goes on and on..
🪻 This week, we unfortunately have to cut back our beautiful Lavendar.. We are late in doing so, but I just wanted more time to enjoy it's beautiful color.. But, if I don't harvest the floral stems now, ww won't be able to reap the benefits of its lavender.
🪻 PS.. The Lavendar will grow back for a smaller harvest closer to fall, it's just the point, lol...
🪻 Stay tuned, I will post our harvest of our beautiful Lavender, soon, along with a delicious recipe 😋

Have a great day 💜

🌹 I'm a little late posting this, as this past Canada Day Weekend was a pretty busy one for us, lol, BUT I am so excited right now.. Last year, I made the big decision to bring back our floral business I had a few years ago. (I closed the shop when we moved to Ingleside). As many of you know, I've decided go through with growing fresh flowers as a division of Seaway Charters - Your Local Transportation.
🌹 The name of the floral company The Maiden's Blush Flowers - Fresh Flowers and Gift Boutique, carries lots of history on my side of the family (Cameron). The Maiden's Blush AKA the Loyalist Rose.
🌹 So, back to the beginning, Starting with the company again, and keeping the same name alive, I knew I had to get the actual rose here..
I search all reputable nurseries from coast to coast and north to south America and ever single place was sold out everywhere.. 1.5 years waiting.. Last month, I finally received an email, They had my rose IN STOCK...
So I placed my order and it ARRIVED on Friday.. Beacause I was overly excited sitting at the desk, Silly me, only purchased 1, so not like me, I always and have always bought things in pairs.. I was just too excited.. Now they are SOLD OUT AGAIN 😳...

🌹 Anyhow, The box showed up on Friday, We excitedly opened it up, and was very pleased with the proper care to protect it during shipping, I was a little disappointed in the size as other bareroot roses I've purchased were much bigger, but, it was safe, very healthy, and let's face it, roses grow fast!

🌹 We carefully removed it from the packaging, transplanted it to a large temporary pot, and will soon plant it permanently in its new home 🥰
This Great Maiden's Blush Rose, will be planted on the side of our garden arch walk-way, which is the main entrance into our garden, it will be the first thing you see and first thing that greets you as you enter our little oasis 🩷

🌹 I can't wait to keep you all updated on the growth of our 1st Loyalist Rose!
🌹 The last 2 photos, are 2 photos that are not my own, but of someone else's Great Maiden's Blush Rose AKA The Loyalist Rose.

Have a great day everyone, and Happy Wednesday 😁

🌸Oh it's Peonies season, and what beautiful flowers they are!
🌸With the threat of rain and thunderstorms yesterday, and into today, I decided to go cut the peonies and save them from all the rain. It's such a devastation to see the look of them after a rain storm, lol..
🌸 I gathered them up, found 2 completely different types of vases to create 2 different looks.
🌸 Flowers can bring such beauty and great decor to one's space.

🌼 Happy Thursday, from your friends at

🌼 Happy Sunday ~ Happy Message ~ The Dandelion

"The dandelion is the only flower that represents the three celestial bodies of the SUN, MOON, and STARS:
The yellow flower resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moons,
and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars.

🌼 The dandelion flower opens to greet the morning and closes in the evening to go to sleep.
Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for FOOD, MEDICINE, and DYE for coloring.

🌼 Up until the 1800s, people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful “weeds” like chickweed, malva and chamomile.

🌼 The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves.

🌼 Dandelions have one of the longest flowering seasons of any plant.

🌼 Dandelion seeds are often transported away by a gust of wind and they travel like tiny parachutes.

🌼 Seeds are often carried as many as five miles from their origin!

🌼 Birds, insects, and butterflies consume nectar or seeds of dandelion.

🌼 Honey from bees pollinating dandelions is quite delicious.

🌼 Dandelion flowers do not need to be pollinated to form seeds.

🌼 Root of dandelion can be used as a substitute for coffee.

🌼 Dandelion is used in folk medicine to treat infections and liver disorders.

🌼 Tea made of dandelion act as a diuretic.
If you know dandelions, they’ll grow shorter stalks to spite you.

🌼 Dandelions are, quite possibly, the most successful plants that exist.

🌼 They are masters of survival worldwide."

Me, Jane .... do you think this "just happened"?
Our Lord God made it all

🌸 I hope you all enjoyed this little tid-bit about our Dandelions 😉
