June fades into July

Working on the Garden Design


Pepper planter with nasturtiums and yellow dahlias. Nasturtiums always make me happy! They are perfectly bright orange, smell sweet, there are tons of them, and they are edible! So cool. Got to keep them cut back so they don't overtake Mike's prized peppers.

The garage side-garden: pink, orange, so vibrant.

Front planter has a ways to go. Got 4 begonias at the farmer's market for 50 cents each, a little something to help fill in for now. I have a vision, but it's hidden by all the big annuals that don't fit the design. But that's okay, because the perennials won't be big enough to make an impact until next year!

Flowery Awesomeness

(that is a delphinium I grew from seed- it's gonna bloom!)

Phlox are so beautiful- especially in the fading sunlight of a perfect day in July. Hope the powdery mildew doesn't get the best of them.

Wish daylilies had a longer vase life!

Can't get enough jazzy zinnias!

Beautiful Bouquets
Love picking flowers

Food
Mike's domain. Wish I had time to help out more, but excited about the harvest. No red tomatoes yet. A few hot peppers. A handful of peas every other day. And some blueberries that we have yet to taste... they must be good, because the birds sure seem to enjoy them!
