My Flower Garden: Week 2 - Echoes of Laughter

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 testing it out and I will be reporting here every 2 weeks over a period of 2 months so you can see the progress.

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 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.

Please come with me on this journey as I share updates on the transformation of this bed!
