When Glama Toosie was here 2 major things happened. She received her new name "Glama Toosie" and Glama instilled a hankering within me to want to garden.
Here's the scoop, we hit up Costco for some choice roast for dinner when Mom saw the flowers. A flat for $10. She kept looking back as we walked further and further past them. It was killing her, all of the people with the flowers, virtually everyone with flats in their carts. Yeah I saw them too but I didn't seem to notice them so much, yup they were pretty but so are all flowers. What would I do with a flat of flowers anyway. Glama made up her mind, I had to have the flowers and she was going to plant them. So be it. Truth is, I love them. I go out the front door to see my LOVELY flowers Glama planted for me all of the time. Thanks MOM!
When I was a kid I remember thinking gardening was for old people and I was never going to do it. Now I want to plant a beautiful little garden on my front porch/yard. I packed up the family today and headed down to Home Depot so I could look around in the gardening section. We got there and I realized it is overwhelming. So I propose this to Glama Toosie, perhaps you can update the phrogbottom phorum with the developments of your hill this spring and provide all of your lovely gardening fans with some tips and tricks. What flowers are the easiest to maintain? When would I water them? What kind of flowers dont need much sun? We all know Glama knows the answers and more. Time to spill it. If you do it I will keep you posted on the development of my budding garden as well. You in?
The other major event was simple, Davis Calls Glama, Glama Toosie. Its perfect and I vote for it sticking.

I have been wondering how our little Primroses were doing. They haven't hit our Costco yet, but I have my eyes out watching for them. They are such happy, cheerful flowers. I have found they come back on the hill for several years, if the deer do not get them. We didn't plant them with any fertilizer so you should pick up something that is water soluable and feed them. I like a fertilzer called "Bloom" I buy it at Home Depot and it comes in a small purple-ish container. I will have to see who the manufacture is. When buying fertilizer for flowers, you want to purchase one that has a high middle number. If you look at the container, it will have 3 numbers on it. Bloom has a middle # of 50-something. that is what they flowers thrive on..
I love the name Gramdma Toosie...Works for me. Sure do miss you all...time for you to come see us! Give Davis a big hug and kiss. Bampa was just wondering what Davis was up today. XOXO Mom
Cindy and Shane are great weekend guests. Of course Davis was the center of the attention even with a temperature and not feeling well he shared his love. I can hardly wait to go back. Love Dad
