Heavy rains and a clogged gutter flooded the squash.
A new garden kite to celebrate the Summer Solstice
Mr. Grosbeak
The humidity increased and the Little Dude came out of the weather house
The squash survived the flood. The gutter man cleaned out the sun room gutter. He'll return in a few weeks to install a cover so the gutter won't clog again.
Blossoms on the cherry tomato plant
Morning glories getting tall
A mountain laurel that rarely blooms decided to show off this year.
The honeysuckle vine. The hummingbird has been having a field day, but eludes me when I got to take his picture.
New gutters and downspouts
The gutter man even took care of the water filtration back wash hose
Blossoms on the milkweed
One of only three blossoms on the hydrangea. Well, that's two more than what we had last year. I had hoped cutting it back would help produce a lot more flowers.
Some wild morning glories also called Devil's weed have invaded the snowball bushes. Seems the more you pull it out, the more it keeps coming back.
How does your garden grow?
Everything is so lush and green! Enjoy it while it lasts! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gretchen Sunshine 😸
DeleteEverything looks great! You must be so glad it is done. :)
ReplyDeleteStill have drain that’s got to be done, but glad that will be the last project
DeleteWOW, my cilantro was flooded like that, but mine didn't survive like your squash did. Guess it's because my cilantro wasn't much taller than the flooded area.
ReplyDeleteNice to see how you can take care of the back wash hose. Your gutter man must be a gem. Mine is named Elizabeth (grin)!
That squash has a strong will to survive
DeleteOh yes, and HAPPY SUMMER!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You, too
DeleteThe grosbeaks don't stay here long on their way through but are a source of excitement when we see them. Striking birds! I love your summer solstice kite, and that honeysuckle! I hope mine gets that big some day :)
ReplyDeleteThe honeysuckle will need to be cut back as it’s getting to heavy for the trellis. Fortunately, it grows fast
DeleteYour garden is doing well, but sorry the squash got squashed! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe squash seems to be making a comeback
DeleteEverything is looking gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe new gutters look great.We got our gutter covers and new gutters a couple of months ago. Enjoy.
It’s so nice to have gutters that drain properly
DeleteLooking great! It is amazing how much things have grown in this cool June weather. Happy new week. Hugs Erika
