My Second Fertilizer Friday!!


This fern rests on the bannister of my covered porch, or 'gallery' as we say in Trinidad





It's Friday, that means one thing, Fertilizer Friday!!! I love to fertilize, I feel like I'm giving my planties, yes I call them that a special treat!!
Our resident garden guru Tootsie is our gracious host, hop over and see all the other participants!!



I bought a few plants since my last Ferlizer Friday, and I also transplanted the large plantersinto smaller pots, I think they look better


Guess who is the proud owner of a rose plant!!

As for this beauty, he was suffering in the backyard, under the mango tree



at first I thought it was a ficus


then it started flowering, I then realised it's a thornless 'crown of thorns'




these are early morning shots of my transplants


in new and shiny pots



lantanas growing wild on my back fence





not quite a flower, but I dont know


the name of this plant, anyone?


also I wonder how it grows, up or across like ground cover




Hey Tootsie, do flowers of a mango tree count?



I actually bought two rose plants this is the pink



and this is the red they are both on my patio in full sun, is that Ok?




another planting taking full sun




Ladies, I am trying so hard, my passion for container gardening grows daily, I even started a diary! Tomorrow I am going on a long drive to the south of the Island by my MIL's sister, we never met but I was told she is a fantastic gardner, I am going to hopefully pick up a few pointers from her and also some free plants (hopefully)!


Enjoy Fertilizer Friday!! It's a holiday today!! wooohoo long weekend and boy do I NEED IT!!
