Bunny and chickadee having a snack
The three sunflowers bloomed
Coconut not bothered by me going out to the yard
Bunnies and a beautiful sunset
The morning glories got blown over. Again.
The edger
Four gardeners weeding
Someone snacked on the sunflower!
At least these two sunflowers are relatively intact
Sad morning glories didn't make it. Either too much heat and humidity, the drought (though they were watered daily), or too many flowers in on pot.
The goldenrod had no problems with the weather
The Heath Asters are doing well
And a fine crop of milkweed though there were no Monarch butterflies to be seen.
How does your garden grow?
My garden areas don't look nearly as good as yours. I'm surprised about the sunflower, because usually it's the seeds the birds want. It appears a bunny must have enjoyed the flowers, too.
ReplyDeleteYour garden areas are still mostly doing well. Mine have nearly shriveled and died. I can't keep anything going and got NO tomatoes this year, even from the very expensive Roma plant.
I was told the goldfinches like the sunflower petals, but this looks like a larger critter like a bunny got to it. A shame about your tomatoes. My cousin said the deer at all his.
DeleteYour garden looks good, the visitors, too! Have a good, new week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe visitors needs to get a move on with the weeding.😺
DeleteI've had three monarch caterpillars on my milkweed that I've found. They have certainly eaten the leaves down to the stalk on one plant! I have not seen a chrysalis yet so am keeping my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a chrysalis.
DeleteYour garden is looking beautiful and your visitors seem very happy 😁. I'm loving the sunflowers, they are such happy flowers! Happy Sunday and wishing you a great new week! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI love the sunflowers, too, and glad they lasted a week before the critters decided to snack on them
DeleteIsn't it funny how the weeds need no help to grow? LOL PS Have you noticed that the 'new' Facebook {which I have been forced into using without my permission} no longer allows us to link our blog from a Facebook post? I HATE it! :(
ReplyDeleteLooking at the flourishing weeds you would never think my area is in a severe drought. Oh, so that’s what that is. A few friends flagged me about a message they received. I haven’t gotten new FB yet so things work fine from my end.
DeleteThe sunflowers and goldenrod look good.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see your garden visitors.
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend, and have a good new week.
All the best Jan
Looks like a good week shaping up and Summer still trying to hang on
DeleteWe had that wind too. You lawn is looking so nice and green. Mine is brown and all that is left are the weeds. What a mess. Hope you have a great start to your week.
ReplyDeleteWe had a couple of days last week where we got a good soaking and everything greened up
DeleteI want asters for next year. And fennel. Your sunflowers and goldenrod are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMost would consider the goldenrod weeds, but the bees really like them
DeleteWildflowers, that's what they are. My sunflower is a perennial wild fall-blooming sunflower, so I favor the native wildflowers :)
