Look what my husband gave me

We lured my into his workshop by telling me to watch Bobber.
The the garage was this....




Plus a card but the only card he could find in the house was a sympathy card

The pictures do not do this justice!!

Oh, that's too funny ! Do you deserve sympathy because you're married to him?

Absolutely gorgeous! Reminds me that before too much longer I'm going to have to start the search for some ornamental Kale (somewhat hard to find down here.) so the front beds will have some color this winter.

Awww what a sweet man!!
Those are just beautiful!!!

Gail, It can't be THAT warm in Wisconsin right now, can it?????

Its beautiful. What a sweetheart. I love that he "tried" with the sympathy card..
He should get hugs and kisses today!!

What a sweet man!!!

Awwww, how sweet! Do you have a garden, or are they just for looks? What is that enormous flower?

That is just gorgeous! Very lucky lady you are!

He gave this to me for my last day of work!!
As for ornamental Kale and ornamental Cabbage its very easy to grow from seed. If you can grow broccoli or cabbage you can grow this. The only thing is the white cabbage moths will lay their eggs on the plants so if you have problems with these moths you will have to spray/dust the plants!! There is also a cultivar that grows very small heads and the heads are on a stalk that kindof look like roses!!
And it is going to be around 70 degrees today with a high of 80 degrees on Tuesday until it cools back into the 60's!! We have not had a frost yet-a mild autumn for sure!!

I only tried the stuff for the first time last year, was pleased for the most part with how it did during our "winter." I did have some cabbage loopers, which in retrospect is not really surprising. The problem with me is remembering that I need to start the things a couple of months before I "need" them ! Maybe next year.

It's actually cooler here than it has been, only going up into the low to mid 80's over the next few days (we had been experiencing 90+ temps. Very atypical, even for us.)

that was nice of him they are lovely id wonder what charlie had been up to if he gave me any sort of flowers

That was so sweet of him!

Oh what a sweety he is!!!

That is beautiful!!! What a wonderful husband.

Hello Gail!
This is great from your hubby to you! ... ...
He deserves an "HIP, HIP hOOOOORRRRRAAAAY!!!!!"

Very nice! That is so sweet of him, to make something to bring you a smile all season!

How sweet, and what a nice reason! Are you going to transplant to your garden? They look a bit crowded? But then again there's my knowledge of gardening which is quite minute.
