How Does Your Garden Grow?



Uh oh, what's this?


Timex stops by


to entertain Quill and Calli


A crow or a raven perched on the twig


No, it's not a 2 seater outhouse. It's a little shed


A solar gazing globe for the Zensical garden


I've been trying to get a photo of the lone bumblebee all week. She doesn't like having her picture taken, but I finally caught up with her enjoying the flowers of the Common Bugle.


Hanging basket called Morning Skies


Companion plants to keep bugs away. Marigolds for the tomatoes, Dill, Thyme, and Purple Basil for some other green things.


Plants for some hanging baskets


Petunia and Verbena


The petunia is called Queen of Hearts


New Guinea Impatiens under the Japanese maple


Lily of the Valley. Their fragrance is heavenly


Blossoms on the snowball bushes


Another snowball watches from the window


Another hanging basket. This one called Plum Crazy

Your garden is looking good, and great that the kitties have entertainment! My bacony is now looking better with marigolds and lobelia and some plants I don't know! Enjoy your Sunday, Valerie

It's so exciting to see everything getting green, isn't it? I've bought plants too. But no new shed for me. That will come in very handy. And if Calli and Quill need any chipmunks to entertain them, I can ship you a few-smile. Your flowers look pretty. Happy Sunday and stay cool. hugs-Erika

Plant Net lets you upload pix of plants to identify. There's also an app for your phone

Your gardens look great. I love the gazing globe. And I chuckled at the fur babies staring at Timex. - Anne

I just love those striped petunias i've seen this year.. There seems to be two camps when it comes to petunias.. either you love them or you hate them and i'm in the LOVE CAMP.. any and all varieties.. especially the ones that smell.. they can be hard to find.. My grandpa used to line the edge of his garden with Marigolds.. he said it kept the rabbits away! This is also the man that wore a knotted on all corners red handkerchief on his head to keep the gnats away.. :) Hugs! deb

HAHH, TWO seater ...yeah I think that's probably what it is and you just don't want us to know... Cute with the cats and the chipmunks and beautiful flowers.

Calli nearly went through the window screen when Timex climbed the honeysuckle vine

How pretty it all is! I enjoy seeing the native bees. We had a chipmunk yesterday that climbed our potted redbud tree to the top and used that as a launch point to jump to the top of the fence lol

CJ Kennedy said...

I love petunias. They come in so many colors. They tolerate the heat and last until Fall. Oh! So that's what the knotted corners are for!

CJ Kennedy said...

She's the only bee that I have seen in the yard. Chippies are so funny

Is that a Rubbermaid shed? I have a larger one and it had to go on a wooden stand so it didn't buckle. Mine is much larger, though.

Your gardens are looking beautiful. My lilies of the valley have all bloomed and died back already. Looks like you are ready for a colorful summer.

CJ Kennedy said...

Yes, that's a Rubbermaid shed. Hopefully, he won't be saying we need a bigger boat (reference is from the movie, "Jaws" 😸
