After the rain.................

I do so love to wander around the garden after the rain stops. I am so thankful for it. It's amazing how quickly everything grows after rain. Its not like using the hose. There is just something in the rain that nurtures.

Some new plants to watch and see if they thrive. I put this in (above) with the Lupine, now to see if they too will survive. I have never had a lot of luck with them. Probably too much shade. I did begin to trim the apple tree but needed Gerry to get a bigger branch, he of course didn't do it. I put in some daisies too.



There is just not enough sunlight anymore in my garden but I keep trying different spots. Maybe these will thrive? The Iris are starting to flower. The ones across the alley that are in full sun have come and gone. Mine just beginning.


Then there are the Poppies, they have taken a better hold this year. They are just budding but I love the rain drops on them.


This gave me pause, shades of Fall? NO its only June

I have a flower on one of my Tomatoe plants

I love flowering shrubs........I have several they bloom at different times

I do so love taking close ups of flowers

Snowball shrub is heavy with blooms

I repotted some more Granny bonnets that were not doing well.......maybe now they will florish like this one.

It was good to have a rain day, I had stuff to do inside and I am loath to get it done when I can be in the garden.
