My Flower Garden with Miracle Gro™ flower magic: Come See The Progress 6 Weeks In! #flowermagicCA

I have flowers! I have flowers! I have flowers!
Remember in April I shared with you a plan for a new gardening project  that my husband and I created together?And then I shared this post on May 12 about how I planted my new garden with the help of Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic. And two weeks after planting, I shared this progress report. and then at four weeks, I shared with you this report on how things were doing. I am so happy to announce that I have FLOWERS! Here is what my garden looks like 6 weeks after planting!
Beautiful little flowers! And ALL I did was SHAKE & WATER!

And as a reminder, six weeks ago it looked like this:

And now:

My  new flower garden has filled in very nicely with lots of healthy growth, and flowers are now appearing! With warmer weather here with lots of sunshine, I would normally be watching a flower garden very carefully for dryness,  but Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic has made things so easy  because the soil turns a light brown when it needs to be watered. This makes things super easy for me as it is easy to see when the garden needs moisture. 

And here is a collage of the updates so you can see the progress from planting day to this week:

And here's how I did it...I simply used this canister of Miracle Gro's flower magic and followed the directions. It's a flower seed mix  that includes flower seeds, fertilizer and coir {a super absorbent growing material}that shakes on a garden in minutes and blooms all summer long. I am testing it out and I will be reporting here every 2 weeks over a period of 2 months so you can see the progress for yourself.

Miracle-Gro flower magic™ comes in two mixes...a Multicolour Mix which includes up to 29 varieties of flower seeds,  and a Pink & White Mix which includes up to 16 varieties of flower seeds. It's available wherever you find Miracle-Gro gardening products and retails for  $15.99. 

I am using the Mulitcolour Mix for my new bed, and I have been excitedly watching the results!

Here's a recap of everything so far so you can see things in more detail!

How's how it looked on planting day on May 12:

And here's how it looked on May 26!

Here's how it looked on June 9:

And June 23:

I have loved watching the progress of my flower garden from planting day until now!

It has been the easiest garden to grow ever!

In two weeks,  I will be back to share the last progress report on the flower garden.

My Flower Garden with Miracle Gro™ flower magic: Come See The Progress 4 Weeks In! #flowermagicCA

If you might remember, in April I shared with you a plan for a new gardening project  which my husband and I created together. And then I shared this post on May 12 about how I planted my new garden with the help of Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic. It was the fastest and easiest garden I have ever planted and it literally took me about 10 minutes to plant in the middle of a very busy day. All I did was SHAKE and WATER! And two weeks after planting, I shared this progress report. And now I have a new update to share with you on what my garden looks like 4 weeks after planting!
Here's what we have...beautiful little plants thriving with water & sun!

And as a reminder, four weeks ago it looked like this:

And now:

My flower garden has enjoyed lots of healthy growth. And I have to say that the last two weeks at my house have been extremely busy with my parents visiting and my daughter's graduation, so I basically had no time for gardening. But Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic has made things so easy  because the soil turns a light brown when it needs to be watered. For the past two weeks, I have been watching the soil, and when it was light brown,  I simply watered the garden with a gentle spray from a watering can, and then went about my busy day.

And here is a collage of the updates so you can see the progress:

To grow this garden, I simply used this canister of Miracle Gro's flower magic and followed the directions. It's a flower seed mix  that includes flower seeds, fertilizer and coir {a super absorbent growing material}that shakes on a garden in minutes and blooms all summer long. I am testing it out and I will be reporting here every 2 weeks over a period of 2 months so you can see the progress for yourself.

My  flower garden is making wonderful progress and I couldn't be happier!

In two weeks,  I will be back to share another progress report on the garden.

My Flower Garden with Miracle-Gro's flower magic: 2 Weeks In & We Have Plants! #flowermagicCA

A few weeks ago, I shared with you a plan for a new gardening project that I was working on and how we had built a raised bed in our yard for this project. Then I shared in this post how on Monday, May 12, I planted my new garden with the help of Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic. It was the fastest and easiest garden I have ever planted and it literally took me about 10 minutes in the middle of a very busy day.  All I did was SHAKE and WATER!
And I now have this!

Two weeks ago, it was this:

 Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic has made things so easy for the gardener because the soil turns a light brown when it needs to be watered. For the past two weeks, I have been watching the soil, and when it was light brown,  I simply watered the garden with a gentle spray from a watering can. 

I am so excited that after two weeks, I now have this:

Beautiful, healthy green shoots poking up through the soil!

 And more beautiful, green shoots poking up through the soil.

And a whole bed of beautiful green shoots! {Ignore the weeds. It's raining today, but I will get out and weed it tomorrow!}

This is what it looked like just two weeks ago:

And here is a side by side shot so you can see the progress:

I simply used this canister of Miracle Gro's flower magic and followed the directions. It's a flower seed mix  that includes flower seeds, fertilizer and coir {a super absorbent growing material}that shakes on a garden in minutes and blooms all summer long.

I am using the Mulitcolour Mix for my new bed, and here is what it looked like right after I planted and watered it on May 12.

And here's how it looks today!

In two weeks,  I will be back to share new growth or other changes to the garden.

So you may remember last week, I posted about a new gardening project that I am working on and how we built a new raised bed in our yard for this project. I am so excited to get this project going, and this past Monday {May 12}, I got busy and planted my new garden with the help of Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic. And with the soil raked and ready to go, I have to say that it was the fastest and easiest garden I have ever planted. It literally took me about 10 minutes in the middle of what was a very busy day. I am so thankful that Miracle-Gro™  has made growing a flower garden so easy! All I did was SHAKE & WATER!

I simply used this canister of Miracle Gro's flower magic and followed the directions. It's a flower seed mix  that includes flower seeds, fertilizer and coir {a super absorbent growing material}that shakes on a garden in minutes and blooms all summer long. So I am testing it out and I will be reporting here every 2 weeks for a period over a period of 2 months so you can see the progress. {And let me tell you, I don't exactly have a green thumb, so this is a wonderful way to test this product!}

Miracle-Gro flower magic™ comes in two mixes...a Multicolour Mix which includes up to 29 varieties of flower seeds,  and a Pink & White Mix which includes up to 16 varieties of flower seeds. It's available wherever you find Miracle-Gro gardening products and retails for  $15.99. 

I am using the Mulitcolour Mix for my new bed, and here is what it looks like after I planted and watered it.

Next week, I will be back to share with you any growth or other changes to the garden. And Miracle Gro™'s new flower magic has made things so easy for the gardener because the soil turns a light brown when it needs to be watered, so I will be checking my garden throughout the week to see when it needs watering.

So here's my future gorgeous flower bed all planted! Please come with me on my journey as I share updates on the transformation of this bed!

Designing & Growing A New Flower Bed with Miracle-Gro™ flower magic & A Gardening Gift Giveaway! #flowermagicCA

I am so excited to begin this new gardening project. You see, my husband and I have been talking about building some raised flower & vegetable beds in our back yard for some time now, and we are finally going to put our small dreams into action. The plan is to have a series of both small and large raised beds built into this small flat area of our yard which has a retaining wall to hold back the higher elevation. We plan to add herbs, vegetables and a cutting flower garden for me! I have wanted a cutting garden since forever...you know...one of those adorable little flower gardens which not only look pretty but provide a place where I can go in my slippers and apron to cut a few stems to fill some vases with beautiful fresh flowers whenever the mood strikes.

In order to make these raised beds, my husband recycled some pressure treated 6" x 6" posts we already had and cut them to length to fit the space. Then we added some top soil to prepare the bed for planting. Now we wait for the threat of snow to move out of the forecast before I go ahead and plant the beds.

For this project, I am excited to use this brand new Miracle-Gro flower magic™­ product. It's a flower seed mix from Miracle-Gro that includes flower seeds, fertilizer and coir {a super absorbent growing material}that shakes on a garden in minutes and blooms all summer long. Miracle-Gro flower magic™ comes in two mixes...a Multicolour Mix which includes up to 29 varieties of flower seeds,  and a Pink & White Mix which includes up to 16 varieties of flower seeds. It's available wherever you find Miracle-Gro gardening products and retails for  $16.99. I think it would also make a fantastic Mother's Day gift too!

For busy families, this is a perfect way to grow some gorgeous flowers without getting dirty or spending a ton of time buying seeds, preparing and planting. Miracle-Gro understands that everyone wants beautiful flowers in their garden and makes it easy and effortless with this fantastic mix. It's simply SHAKE, WATER & GROW!

I am going to shake on the Miracle-Gro flower magic™ this weekend and I am going to share with you each week how this raised flower bed is going to be transformed into a beautiful flower garden. So please stop by each week for 6 weeks and see how my garden progresses! And let me tell you, I am really excited to SHAKE, WATER & GROW! I mean...how easy is that? Want to learn more? Just watch this video to see how easy it is to grow your own gorgeous flowers too! 

So here's my future gorgeous flower bed. Please come with me on my journey as I share a weekly update on the transformation of this bed!
