Loving Summer

Everyday I go out into my garden. Some time is spent weeding, some planting, and other times are spent just relaxing and enjoying the progress that I have made. Planting some more in the side garden.. hoping these plants will make it and fill in over the years.


Here are some photos of what is planted so that I can keep track of what is there, what makes it and what doesn't. My plan is to put in a garden of flowers that are not fussy, will tolerate the sun and require lower watering needs.

June, Summer is here

Lots of flowers are starting to come in for the season. Love to watch them come back from an empty space. There is always this surprise.. "wow I forgot I had so many tulips" or "I forgot how many iris I had in this part of the yard". Definitely have a lot of work to do in the corners of the yard (both sides of the house are accumlating junk). Trying desperately to keep up with the weeds. Put down cardboard in the veggie garden. Need to eradicate. Going to try vinegar solution. See how that works.

Decided to put in an assortent of iris in the upper level of the center garden. Here are some photos of my irises found throughout the yard. Ones that are established already. The new ones are not yet in bloom after their transplant. However, they are supposed to be rebloomers, so I am hoping that they will bloom this fall?
