The Garden in Early Summer

When everything blooms, the garden can be really beautiful! 

While out taking a turn about the garden, one of my sons found a cardinal egg. Can you see it? It is very well camouflaged.

I put a solar fountain in this watering can planter. It works sometimes, but this isn't the sunniest of times right now.

I am enjoying watching my containers fill out.

Lavender that I grew from seed. They were winter sown in 2024, and they are just now blooming fully.

The Cathedral Bells rose is really romantic! It was just a rose from Walmart.

This is Lady of Shallot.

This rose is Moonlight in Paris.

This rose is my only hybrid tea rose, and it is Arizona. The colors on it are amazing! 

While these violas weren't that outstanding when I purchased them, they are really turning out pretty! 

The veronica is starting to open.

The Life of the Party rose is always a favorite.

Some of my mini gardens made it to the baker's rack for a few weeks.

I am working on this area to be a bistro-style patio. Still a work in progress.

Same area, I think I will call this the patio garden.

I keep calling this the little English garden, and it is small, but it has yet to have any flowers growing here that are worth showing off. I am still working on this area too.

A geranium I had never seen before bloomed. It has very unusual fireworks-style blossoms. The leaves are the reason I got it, though. Summer is here, and keeping it all alive will be an adventure.

In Victory,

Sherry
