A surprise Hollyhock. Before Ink, there was Mitty. The hollyhocks were Mitty's favorite place to hang out. The large leaves gave him a shady and safe hidey-hole. It was cool by the foundation of the house, too.

We have blueberries! We might get 3 each!
How does your garden grow?
Yours looks wonderful. Here the "bee-flowers" are in bloom, but they grew tall, not "full". The lavender seems to have had it, but the lucky bean Ingo gave me grows like crazy.
ReplyDeleteDann, hast du viel Glück
DeleteI see blueberries. Hurrah. And your garden is looking super CJ. Since batch #2 of babies fledged, I haven't seen a single bluebird around. Even the meal worm amount isn't going down in the feeder. Hurrah that you got a photo of one. I hope yours hang around. Have a great Sunday. It's cloudy here right now.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised the bluebird waited long enough for me to get my camera and to take a picture
DeleteCan i borrow SamWise? lol Man the rain here in TX just won't stop... We missed the big rains last night... stayed just South of us and dumped on my Brother in law all night.. their yard is a pond.. But my grass is growing so fast i can't keep up.. crazy... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteSamwise can't handle tall grass. Because we participated in No Mow May, Himself had to ask a young man to come and mow the lawn for us before Samwise could take over
DeleteThe bluebird is so pretty. Our blueberries were a great disappointment again this year - not enough water, I think.
ReplyDeleteWe had a very wet Spring and early Summer.
DeleteYour garden is absolutely charming! I love how it’s full of surprises bluebirds, hollyhocks, and even a lone turkey! The flowers are blooming beautifully, and it’s so sweet to see the memories of Mitty live on.
ReplyDeleteNature truly brings peace and joy
Yes, I was happy to see the hollyhock that reminds me of Mitty. He was the sweetest cat that has owned me.
DeleteZucchini! Your neighbors are gonna love you! LOL
ReplyDeleteI doubt it 🐱
Deletehow did you get blue hydrangea ?? the bushes at my mom are all white ...blue would be awesome ~~ ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteThe white hydrangeas are a different variety. Color can be changed on pink or blue hydrangeas due to the soil. Acidic soil produces blue hydrangeas and alkaline soil produces pink. Because of pine trees and oak, the soil here is very acidic.
Deletesoil here is like concrete.....no joke...clay...lots and lots of clay ~~~~~
Deletewavez two ewe calli N quill and make sure ya get sum seered perch thiz week ☺☺♥♥
I'm no gardener, but I think you would have to amend the soil with organic matter like compost, leaves, grass clippings. Too much work for me that's why I'm not the gardener. Headbutts to Mack.
