#MarketFriday with @dswigle The Nursery!!

in #marketfriday6 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone, now this first pic hardly looks like a market of any sort, but a large happy Ridge back called 'Lavazza' yes you heard that correctly all the dogs on this property are named after coffee, rather cute right?

Today for @dswigle and her epic #marketfriday I thought I would get a little original. I took an extended walk around the plot/nursery and took a few pics of the plants on offer to market!

I have not yet featured the gorgeous Nursery on the plot where I live so what better day to do so on a glorious Friday with #marketfriday?

The landlords oldest Dachund 'Tinkie' not sure I know of any coffee with that name however? 6 dogs on this premesis and this is my favorite by far she is just too adorable, loyal and gorgeous for words. She follows me everywhere, in fact at the ripe young age of 12 she now thinks I am her owner, she spends more time with me than in the main house, such a stunning animal!

The plants on offering are vast and excellent. Succulents, orchids, rows of orchards of an array of fruit Tree's from peaches, to plums, avo's, kiwi's even, palm tree's roses, cycads, clivia's just to name a few. Truly a blessed and incredible sight!

Naturally I had to pop in a pic of my 5 hives at the bottom of the plot and the Apricot tree which has just finished producing a nice crop for the season!

Here we have naughty Lavazza again just 'cruising' around with me. At first when I moved in here I thought she was a male. Never before have I seen a dog as naughty as this female, but too cute for words too!

An array of Aloes on the property too which flowered around early August, which naturally was fantastic to start the honey flow season for the bees!

Talking of bees what would a blog bee without an epic bee pic or two right?

Tinkie just been cute as she is, a nice action shot of her here having fun with Lavazza and myself. She really needs to lose a little weight I probably do spoil her too much, I can't believe she is 12 she acts and looks a dog half her age!

Lavazza again for another cool action shot, and by that I mean 'dopey' as she is, clumsy thing, but runs like you can't believe, built for speed and agility that one!

thanks to @dswigle for resteeming these marketfri posts so i can catch up😄

Hehe and thanks for the comment and up brother ;) Cheer$;)

Love the succulents. But the best part is your .... umm ... tour guides? Nice to see a bit more of you home sweet nursery @craigcryptoking. Great entry for #marketfriday

Old loyal dogs are the best!

You are totally blessed to be living here! What a wonderful compound this looks like!

I am especially loving the five beehives. It is one of the things that I will have when I buy my next house. I have a dream list and it has how many bedrooms, things I want like a barn for my Henry (he is my horse)

I love how the big rows of plants are kept together as a team. :)There is an abundance of joy working with nature, especially for someone who can appreciate it and one that has compassion and love for God's creatures. From beginning to end this was a fun read and it really gives a sense of what it is like to work in a nursery.

I am so happy you love your job, to me. it makes every day a fun day, it never seems like work. Thank you for the wonderful post and I want you to know, I always look forward to what you bring to #MarketFriday!
