Adventures in Gardening: summer progress
Posted: 2013/08/11 Filed under: Gardening | Tags: Gladioli, Sunflower, Zinnia Leave a commentThe garden is pretty abysmal this year. The few flowers the bunnies haven’t destroyed are trying to redeem my yard. I bought some coneflowers and tore out some Day Lillie’s. I also gave the willows a tremendous trimming. Hoping to get some more flowers for a better fall impact. And maybe water the veggies more so we actually get some.
Adventures in gardening: mid summer 2013

They’ve had their way with the veggie bed too. Badger apparently has some of safe zone deal with them because The Destroyer found bunny poop in the yard today. And it really does look like tiny Easter eggs. Stupid bunnies.
Things blooming that shouldn’t be

Flower Garden This Morning

I reminded the bees “Even though I put this Russian Sage here for you, You have to remember I like it too”. yes I actually said that out loud to the bees on the sage. I also told a cute little praying mantis that he couldn’t stay on the cut glads, as he would not like it where they were headed. We got quite a bit of rain yesterday and about 6″ or so last week. The flowers are still hanging in there in spite of the nasty conditions this summer has provided them. I’m hoping to get to some other writing this weekend, until then Happy Friday and consider this my virtual flower gift to all of you!
The garden giveth. The garden taketh away

I only got one of these red sunflowers this year. On Monday it was blooming and beautiful. I had hopes for seeds for next year. On Friday, well you can see for yourself. Maybe it will overcome. I’m going to leave it there and hope.
