My lovely flowers on the deck are wilted and sad looking. They do not like the heat any more than I do. The grass needs mowing so bad but it has to wait another day. I guess the mower had to be charged (No idea why he does not plug it in when done, then it would be ready) Anyway, taking a walk around I notice maybe it's not quite as bad as I thought. It"s untidy for sure but a little pulling of the invasive ones and some trimming of branches and some pulling of weeds should set it to rights.
Thing is so many leaves falling off the trees because of the storm/wind the other night makes it look worse. I don't want to be outside that long at the moment.
Not a lot to see but each day another bud opens.
A lot of yellow
But the pink ones are looking a bit fresher today.
My Lavender may just live, still not sure but it seems to like this spot better than anywhere else I have planted Lavender. Still spindly but maybe next year?
There were a couple of visitors.
The bronze and red is what I see quite often now. Sometimes others. It's a question of timing on my part. I think they have a schedule. Thank goodness for Daylilies.
Why only one? There are a few daisy types about to flower but it takes so long to establish. I need to fertilize again.
These Butterfly plants are about to open, I wonder if the orange one survived? I am not seeing it.
The Poppies never bloomed and the Several other things seem to have died off.
In the Herb garden the Chives are blooming, I think this is the garlic chives
The Rose that refused to move is flourishing. The part I moved did not survive. Pity that as it would have been nice where I put it. This came back and is doing really well so I guess it will stay. I will prune it back and try to keep it short
The Geraniums that I overwintered have buds. I think this year I may repot them and bring them in again. I wasn't going to but I can put them up in Tristens room, maybe they will like that.
Not much else to see. I do need to trim the Mountain Ash tree up a bit, it is making too much shade for the garden but that can wait till it cools off,
I will leave it a few more days to see what else comes out, there are lots of buds.
This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.
