How Does Your Garden Grow?

Lots of garden photos

Hey! Hey, Lady! I'm stahvin' heah. Fill the feedah!

Up in the crow's nest. Land, ho!

Himself likes to garden, but the problems he's having with his back make that difficult. While grocery shopping at Wegman's he picked up a few plants that he could put in pots. The frame from a green house works to hold the pots. He wrapped the frame in wire mesh to keep Timex and the bunnies out.

Red gave me some lily of the valley. It started to bloom before I got a chance to plant it.

Himself can care for his plants from inside the sun room. He even used the plant pokes I made for him.

Cassia eating dandelions like spaghetti. 

Slurp!

The snowball bushes out front have avalanched.

The Alpine bells bloomed. After they pass, I'll transplant them to Ink's garden as they are too close to the oil fill and will get squashed when the oil man comes to fill the tank.

Two of the morning glories survived even though Timex likes to roll around in this planter. The morning glories are reaching out to climb the trellis.

The honeysuckle is overgrown and should have been cut back, but it makes a lovely, natural, privacy screen 

Lots of honeysuckle buds. The hummingbird will be very happy.

Just a little rain this week.

Buttercups in the lawn., and

wild strawberries.

I finally got some time to plant the lily of the valley Red gave me.

I took the fencing from Ink's garden to fence in the butterfly garden (behind Ink's garden). Last year, the lawn guy thought the milkweed Red had given me were weeds so he whacked them. Happily, they came back.

There looked like a sunflower was coming up, but Timex and company, and the little red squirrel have trampled them as the critters like to run through the holes in the trellis. I'm hoping they continue to grow.

Besides the lily of the valley and milkweed, Red also gave me some echinacea. I might have waited too long to get it in the ground. Fingers crossed that it takes.

I relocated the cardinal spinner from the corner of the Zensical garden to Ink's garden. The lawn guy had knocked it over.

Years ago, when the snowball bushes bloomed they would be covered in bees. Only one, very busy lady seems to be making the rounds.
