Good morning, you beautiful lot. It's a great summer morning here. It rained overnight so the air is clear, the compost is turned, the day ahead is good.
Sage is cut back so the smell is divine, the buddleia will be out soon and a lot of the rest is on the way.
A few were ready for their close-up, if you're interested.
Container count this week: 84

Thank you
It came as a gift in a container. They don’t last long though and don’t come back throughout summer At least the stems stay nice and green. The lavender is about 5 years. They do get straggly after a few years I noticed. I try and get everything in threes, so I have a nice balance.
Stunning! Love the star gazer Lillie’s. Our are getting ready to hatch soon.
Hostas about to emerge...
Believe it or not this ^^^ is just one plant.

Love lavender......keeps the bugs at bay. Have them scattered around the yard.
The stargazers I planted for my Mom. Not quite ready yet.
What an amazing garden. Beautiful AND produces all kinds of good food.I'll show a few of the rows from the big garden.. please excuse the weeds, I was on vacation. My Dad, bless him, ran the tiller down the walk rows while I was gone, so they're mostly clear. The zinnias did not take this year... *sighs* The kiddos have been tossing out "flower confetti," so I expect marigolds will start popping up everywhere.
Let's see... two rows of various tomatoes, basils... won't show the cucumbers till they perk up some more, and peppers need to be weeded around. I had plans to line everything in grass clippings with wood chips on the walk ways, but plans have not worked out. Oh, and the reason the mounds are so tall is due to the low water table in this area of the yard- 2 acres worth of water funnels through here, which cuts down on watering, but also brings along boggy soil and wash out.

Blueberry harvest day. Brought in 11 quarts. My wife and I both had trugs this full.
You are quite a gardener!! I wokld
The deer decimated the strawberry bed while I was away but didn't bother the peppers adjacent to them. I have used dehydrated and crushed peppers as a cat and squirrel deterrent.
Ghost pepper yummmmm. They look wonderful.
