big girl pants, blooms, garden, poppies, veggies, wander

had a lovely wander around the garden tonight… everything is looking great, particularly as I got up early and watered before work…

here are the veggies with a few flowers mixed in… just a few tomatoes, peppers and basil… might still plant some radishes…

  
the planters around the deck and the basket beside are a lovely colour… they will be gorgeous once they fill in…

  

happily the hostas are coming up quickly…

  
lily of the valley are starting to bloom so in a few days it will smell wonderful in the garden…

  
and the poppies have buds now…

  
lots of plants but that doesn’t always mean there will be many flowers… George and I loved the poppies and would count the blooms every day…

 

the unplanted iris is beautiful… must decide where it is going and get it planted…
  have two baskets filled with fushia… I do enjoy these… and I’m sure it doesn’t have anything to do with the colour…

  
happy to see that the mandevilla is already starting to climb up the obelisk…

wonderful how a few plants can add such life to the garden…

baby's breath, begonia, hibiscus, pond, wander, waterfall

spent a little time wandering in the garden tonight…

the hibiscus was quite lovely…

20140722-211215-76335625.jpgstill waiting to see if the baby’s breath is going to smell – like urine…

20140722-211345-76425652.jpgcan’t decide about the pink flowers… but I do have a friend who will take them if they don’t make the cut…

20140722-211643-76603053.jpgthe basket with the begonias in it continues to look amazing…

20140722-211751-76671851.jpgI turned the waterfall off as it was barely going… waiting to hear from the pond people about what I should be doing…

might have my son-in-law come and dig the pump out of the rocks and see if it is obstructed… don’t think our cheap sump pump ever got plugged up, lol…

going to get up early tomorrow and water everything before heading to work…

flowers in the garden…

flowers blooming, flowers in the garden, lifted my spirits, lily of the valley, poppies, purple columbine, torenia, wander

a few nights ago I watered the plants when I got home and took a little wander around the garden…

five orange poppies were blooming… this was the night before the pond construction began so it was the last of the poppies…

poppies...

poppies…

a myriad of lily of the valley…

lily of the valley...

lily of the valley…

the torenia have perked up now that I am watering them regularly although I’m not sure if the fushia is going to come back…

torenia happier after watering...

torenia happier after watering…

the purple columbine at the side of the house is doing very well…

columbine...

columbine…

still lots to do, but just having a few flowers blooming has already lifted my spirits and encouraged me to keep working at it…
