Garden Update - Renee's Garden Seeds

This year Renee's Garden sent me my whole seed order as a gift so that I could share my results with my dear blog readers. I love the selection of seeds found at Renee's Garden and I have grown them in my garden for many years. I usually order them directly from their website but my dad purchased his whole garden seed order at our local Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) which would even be easier!

We got our seeds in the ground last month and we are already seeing tremendous growth in the veggie and flower gardens!


Our Blue Lake pole beans have all sprouted and with the heat we are getting this week we should probably see them double in size. The seeds we planted are from Renee's Garden Organic Seed Collection. I am so thrilled to have these in my garden that I planted two different boxes with these green bean sesds. I am anxious to see how they taste!



This is something new for our family from Renee's: Tricolor Zucchini. The zucchini seeds are mixed in the packet and contain three different kinds of squash. The seedlings look strong and are growing like crazy. I have a whole houseful of zucchini lovers so hopefully we will get our fill of squash this summer.

 


A whole row of sunflowers...which need to be thinned a bit. We have three really big ones which were self-sowed from last year's crop but there are some little seedlings that we planted from our Renee's Garden seeds. There are Van Gogh, Chocolate Cherry, and Royal Flush.






We planted plenty of morning glories right in the middle of our back garden. I am hoping they do well here and have been watching them grow week by week. Morning glories make me super happy and I love to draw them in my nature journal...relaxing. The seeds we picked are a heritage blend that are traditionally grown to decorate fences and mailboxes.


There are also some really pretty showy flowers in the garden right now which are not from Renee's Garden but I want to share with you.


The hydrangeas are very happy this year and this is my favorite color...so delicate.

In my container deck garden there is a beautiful calla lily blooming. This plant always surprises me when it pops back to life after the winter weather. It soon will be a whole pot full of blooms which the hummingbirds and I will enjoy.


 It is very hard to believe that it is day lily blooming time but they are all budding out and a few are blossoming.

I love the peachy color of this day lily and am always happy to see it in bloom in my butterfly/hummingbird garden.

There are lots more of Renee's Garden seeds to share and I will as the season progresses. I am always happy to share our favorite seed company with my blog readers.

  5. Your garden looks like it is growing beautifully! Mine is not doing as well as I had hoped this year. I tried starting tomato and pepper seeds inside, but they don't seem to be transplanting well. Oh well. I'm learning slowly as I go! I've never heard of Renee's Seeds, but I'll have to remember to check them out next year!
