Hey monkeys! Angie here, asking you, know that weekly thing with the thing and question and answer? MMMHHMMM, that's the Weekly Wonder! A question and answer kind of thing where a question that was asked from the previous week's Weekly Wonder is answered, and another question is asked to be answered the following week! So last week you were asked, does your family have a garden, and, if so, what do you plant in that garden? There were many cool responses, but check out this
SUPER COOL one from Rosie Chuckles!
Even before the snows melt, my garden is blooming with snowdrops and snow crocuses. Just in time for my birthday the giant crocuses bloom. Beautiful patches of flowers bloom, one after the other: daffodils and tulips, hyacinths, so many scented spring flowers. The quince, lilac, and magnolia bushes blossom with the wisteria draping down from the eaves.
Summer brings brightly colored violas, sweetpeas and
zinnia. This year I planted 7 varieties of sunflowers, from the 12 foot giganteus to the 3 foot teddy bear. My herb garden is spectacular with mint and chamomile for teas, chives, lavender and bee balm. The grapes form an edible background. Alaska mix nasturtiums are my favorite new addition for this year. The highlight of the summer is my huge 80 year old pink rose bush beside the massive patch of Shasta daisies.
Fall comes; the Chinese lanterns and chrysanthemums brighten up my dying garden in time for Halloween.
And then the snow starts falling and I dream of spring.
Wow,
ABSOLUTELY A GARDENTASTICLY MONKEYTASTIC entry submitted in by Rosie Chuckles! Now this week, the MiniMonos Team wanted to know, a simple question:
This week we want to ask a simple yes or no question. The average person consumes 167 plastic water bottles worth of water each year. If you switch to a reusuable bottle you could save 167 water bottles and up to a total of $334.00 a year! So we want to know, have you made the switch from plastic evil water bottles to usable bottles / thermus yet?
So, have you made the switch? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't tell me! Tell the MiniMonos Team by commenting on the latest
Weekly Wonder Post, which you can click here to access! So happy gardening monkeys, and enjoy that water!

My family and I starting using reusable water bottles, thermoses, containers, and lunch boxes a few years ago. It is a lot better for the environment, and it saves a LOT of money :-)I hope everyone starts using these to help the environment!
