Day 181...overcast today...

Today it is over cast at least this morning...chance for storms later in the day...
more rain possibly in the next few days...chance of rain each day...

rain makes the garden grow , also the weeds...

sorry about the blurriness of this pic...the bed is transformed...one long bed..makes it easy to mow around now....

 

just some of the iris I dug up

 

 

Always a Pleasure  daylily

this was a free one

 

seen this wee bird during my walk thru the garden

 

 

pumpkin sprouting up

 

soon will have glads blooming

 

potted a few things up this morning...roses, redbud, Rose of Sharon

 

well that is enough for now

so

I hope you all

ENJOY!

 

 

Day 180...cloudy today

Last night they was forecasting storms, but not here ...up north got them...Chance for more storms today...later on this afternoon/evening...it is cooler then usual here in the Ozarks...

 

a view of the clouds last night

                                               
                                                        two different types of cannas, they look the same to me
                                     the first one is suppose to be the black leaf variety

 

a different view of the Indian corn

 

Melon mist

 

Going Bananas Daylily

I got this one at Wally world on clearance last year

I am so happy it bloomed what it is suppose to be

                                            I decided to clean out this bed and move it over
                     so I can mow around it...this is the long row of beds in Strawberry fields
                                    I dug up irises, surprise lilies, mint,...tulips, Daffodils

 

I replanted some of them

and this is how the bed looks like now

I think this will be a lot of work, but it must be done

so I can mow around the bed and in between the grapes and this long bed

 

now to work on the other three beds that are in this row

I might break up the beds alittle more...to make four beds instead of the three that is in this row

maybe I need to explain that the long bed is broke up into three different sections...

I want to make It 4 different sections...I think it would be much better looking ,maybe

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!

Day 179...another cool morning..

I just love the cool mornings...great time to work in the garden and I can work longer then usual unless my back or legs give out one me....So I pulled weeds in the Angel garden, some parts were being neglected..and was very weedy....

pink Rose of Sharon

first time this shrub has bloomed

Day 178...cool outside today...

We have a cool weekend, only in the lower 80s today and tomorrow...so maybe I can do some weeding done unless my back/legs give out one me...

 

New bed

I have planted in this bed 3 new daylilies

Cimarron knight, Avon Crystal Rose, and blackberry candy

I think I might need a couple more daylilies planted in here, maybe about three

I also planted a regular cucumber in the middle

I really don't know what I will call this area, maybe daylily heaven

 

                                                       This is a lemon cucumber developing

 

a cantaloupe developing

 

 

the green canna leaf

 

I have decided to just call this daylily the red spider, it will possibly stay in this bed. I want this bed to be only red plant in this be where it is.

But then again I might replant it somewhere else

it is more beautiful in person then the picture.

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!

day 174..still hot outside...

It is still hot outside and is now officially Summer....since Sunday....we do have some wind.....

 

I am having issues with this pest of the garden

 

since I don't do any chemicals on my plants, or rather cant afford them anyway . I have been hand picking them off and dropping them in some water with a few drops of soap in it...these are the ones I have gotten so far

 

 

a rose, first time blooming

 

 

my purple Rose of Sharon is all in bloom

 

Creeping Thyme is also starting to bloom

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!
