It has started to get hot, so sunset is the best time to get in the garden now. I grew sweet peas! An old-fashioned flower I have always had on my list to grow. This year, I made it happen.
The reward was such fragrant and beautiful blooms for the vase and nostalgia for sweet peas I remembered from long ago.
My crystal suncatcher is in the foreground, and the Indian summer black-eyed susans are in the background.
I created a bed just for the lily-of-the-valley and put this lantern planter beside it for a romantic look.
Some more of the sweet peas are growing up into a lantern.
My favorite combination to date of petunias and salvia for my elevated beds. The salvia is blue Victoria.
The petunias are pink fusion. I grew both the salvia and petunias from seed.
A peach trailing verbena.
The long shot of the container.
A new rose to me this year is Carding Mill, a David Austin rose. I am growing it in a pot.
I transplanted some black-eyed susans here last year, and they are now blooming.
How is your garden growing? It has now gotten vey hot here, and keeping it all alive will be a labor of love.
In Victory,
Sherry
The peach colored verbena is eye catching . I’ve not ever seen that color. All your flowers are thanking you with their flowers! Well done.
