How Does Your Garden Grow?

Some images from our weekend home at the Ogunquit Tides.  I took a walk down the back of the property to the Ogunquit River.


Along the path were some wild grape vines 
And some beach roses.


You can rent kayaks to explore the river or 

To row across the river to access Ogunquit Beach. I think at low tide, you can actually walk across.


I spied with my little eye


A seashell


On the walk back to meet up with Teague, I tried to take a picture of a bee visiting some pink clover. But she was too busy to pose for a picture


There were some Wild Morning Glories a.k.a Devil’s Weed though I think they are still pretty.


While hanging out at the pool, a crow was flitting from the roof of the main building trying to find a comfy spot. He ended up flying away.

How does your garden grow?

    1. I love the wild Morning Glories, but they are invasive and choke out other flowers. Another name for them is Bind Weed - CJ

  2. It looks like you had great weather to go, and now I know where you went to. I hope you had a wonderful time. And at least you weren't there for the rain yesterday- or I'm guessing you weren't there.

    1. Yup we were here for the rain and it was chilly. We had 20 minutes of sun late in the afternoon. Because the weather was so crappy, we’ve extended our stay for another day. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get to the beach today - CJ

  3. My SunFlowers are growing beautifully! I have one that is so far ahead of the others its crazy... But as time goes by they are catching up... The caterpillars/worms have found the big one and i've had to spray it.. I go out every few days and trim off the dead flowers.. I'm sure the neighbors think i'm nuts and wish i'd just cut down the weeds instead of cultivate them... But in a land of heat and sun and wind and dry these are like roses to me and i enjoy 'taking care of them' though they need no taking care of from me... Love seeing the photos from the vacation house... hope you two are having a great time or had a great time... not sure which.. Hugs! deb

  8. Those are some colorful kayaks. My garden isn't nearly as colorful as the photos you shared from Ogunquit.
