Here are a couple of pictures of my garden. It has been a great week for heat and rain. When I went to check my plants after a storm, I noticed that one of my chili pepper plants had been broken off. On closer inspection...it had a 4 inch pepper on it already!
These are some random perennial plants that are in bloom, including baby's breath, lilies, yarrow, pluminaria and the purple one is a cutting form a plant given to me by friend, Rita from Hinckley, Ohio. I think it is from the campanula family.
Isn't my lettuce gorgeous? Too bad it has all turned bitter in this hot weather. I wanted to take one more picture before I pulled it all out. My spinach is the next to go, as it is already starting to bolt. On the bright side, I will be able to pick my first zucchini by the end of the week!
Just wanted to put up some pictures of the yard coming to life again. We had a freeze last Saturday, but luckily the plants came through it ok.
My creeping phlox are beautiful. I am going to try to plant my lettuce this week and maybe peas, too.
In another few days the pear trees and forsythia will be done blooming, but my lilacs have big fat buds on them. Each week there is a new succession of something ready to pop...I love it!
