the garden is doing well...
so much rain in the last few weeks...
we have baby green beans and baby tomatoes...
and our rose garden area, thanks to Craig, has expanded...
he grabbed 4 more rose bushes on clearance....
2 of them are knock out and I think they will be red...
the 2 bigger ones are Belinda's Dream #2...
which are a medium double rose...
we did not dig this whole area up to get rid of the sod...
we took old newspapers and laid them down 2 layers thick around the planted rose bushes...
then, we went back to the burn pile and hauled a couple loads of the cinders and piled that around them on top of the newspapers...
it was free and we are getting rid of the large pile we have back there...
we also put this around the new bushes that we have planted this spring and the rose of sharon we planted last fall...
there are plans to use it in a few more places...
the squash has done well so far...
we had a bad storm last weekend and there are limbs like this down around town...
this one is in the vacant lots across the street...
and we have still not used this...
its either raining and storming or too hot and humid...
looking for a break in the heat next week...
our 4th celebrations were last weekend...
so tomorrow will be a down day and probably looking for Craig and car day...
we didn't do any of the day activities, like the car show this year...
we stayed home and worked on the yard while we could...
we did drive out to see the fire works Saturday night...
we got the 4 rose bushes planted, the LA Dreamin hydrangea planted and I divided 3 boston ferns and potted them to give us 6 now...
then we did the papers and cinders(mulching) around the plants...
by that time, it was starting to heat up and the humidity has been terrible, we were back inside to do house work, cook and just lay around...
be well and be safe...
Tete, I love your yard...so many pretty things to enjoy. Craig is going to be a good gardener with you teaching him. Hope your 4th is fun and enjoyable. I was thinking this morning, wish Tete was my neighbor. LOL...I am going to be needing help with my computer. The Geeks have disappointed me. My photos are gone as is my blog list and favorites too. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see a post from you, Tete. Your gardens are as beautiful as they always have been. With the rain everything looks so lush and lovely--except for the storm damage. Hope you all have a Happy 4th of July.
