How Does Your Garden Grow?



Purrfect weather


The calm before


the storm


Petunias and Verbena


A monarch butterfly stopped by and posed for me


Morning glories seeded themselves in Ink's garden


A green thing, maybe squash?


Tomatoes with purple basil and eggplant with marigold


Himself planted broccoli, and he doesn't even like it


Peas or beans getting tall. If these are beans I hope they lead to the goose that lays the golden eggs


Take my picture!
Okay, smile.


More hanging plants


A patch of Bluets


Right after I took the Sea of Green. Lawn guy came to mow.

Looking good. And nice to have a monarch. I haven't seen one yet, not the viceroy either. It's like a jungle here. Out of control growth. and too many mosquitoes. Enjoy the day!

A monarch butterfly is an exciting sighting! A posing cat :) I'm impressed lol

I saw a blue morpho, too, but he was too quick for me to take a picture

Ink hated having his picture taken, but Calli and Quill will pose for me.

Well i say your garden grows very well CJ... I would plant broccoli and brussel sprouts just to see them grow.. lol Very unusual plants i think.. I hope you'll show us a picture of the broccoli when mature.. My garden? What garden? lol BUT they are scraping the lot next to us to build and i tried to get over there and scavenge some native plants before they did but i was too late.. But i grabbed 4 yucca looking things where they had broke them off at the roots.. i'm thinking native things are pretty darn hardy.. Maybe if i stick them in the ground and keep the soil moist they might make it... the jury is still out.. Hugs! deb

All my native plants are weeds. Good luck 😸

Quill looks so cute when he smiles

robin cox walsh said...

People say that cats and dogs don't smile.....well there's the proof! Quill is quite the ham, no?

Your garden is doing great. I planted brocolli seeds,but some critter dug them AND my sunflower seeds up. It was either a squirrel or a couple of bunny rabbits I saw playing in the yard recently.

Lucky you to see a monarch and Quill looks so happy to be having his photo taken.

Too bad about your broccoli. I'm sad we haven't seen bunnies in the yard this year.
