We're in the middle of summer and the garden is about as good as it's going to get, at least this year. I thought I'd share some highlights before I stop watering and everything goes downhill. It happens to me every year. I get excited at the beginning of the summer and I get really tired of it halfway through. {I think that's a sign that I'm really not a gardener at heart.}
Right now in the garden, I have a blooming rose bush ...
... pots of basil {for homemade pesto} and rosemary ...
... dill that's just beginning to sprout {a late addition planted by Tate's little hands} ...
... hordes and hordes and hordes of mint ...
... a garden full of canna lilies ...
... flowering crepe myrtles ...
... and lush sweet potato plants that have taken over the top of a retaining wall ...
... and are trailing down, adding some much needed color to an old trouble spot.
If you like what you see, would you consider following me?
I hear you!!! I am the exact same way - I like to garden until I have to water... all. the. time. Luckily we've had a VERY wet spring! I have hoards of mint too. I'm trying to give it away to everyone ;) I did transplant some of it to a 'problem spot' that we have too... will have to see how it goes. I hope that you are having an awesome summer with your kiddos!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden! I'm really enjoying our garden as well. I haven't had to water as we have had a lot of rain.
