Life is a Garden Party

After the much-needed downpour

 


My friend who shared these double poppy seeds years ago
passed last year due to complications from covid.  
Many plants in my garden make precious memories.

My grandmother shared sweet pea seeds many years ago.
They are abundant this year.
Should you try to share plants with someone, beware:  difficult to dig.

Ferns are outstanding this year!




Ditch lilies seem to begin blooming the first day of summer!




Been either surrounding or covering hostas with wire/netting.
Despite attempts, deer are spiteful.

Look forward to Gloriosa daises blooming from June up until frost.
The day before frost cut off the brown heads and toss where you'd like them to grow.







Found #5 "cat" this morning.  Checked other dill plants but didn't see others.

This columbine was next to the "cat".

Lady Bells springing up in the Ladies Mantle.  Pretty bed fellows.

Finding Johnny-Jump-Ups here and there.
These were posing for their photo.

Don't recall the name of these purple flowers.
Pretty surprise.

Happy to find these tomato blossoms.  See next photo for foliage.
I believe these will be Brandywine tomatoes.
A neighbor shared with me years ago.
Although I planted saved seeds in April in memory, 
nothing much came from those seedlings.
This plant and others came up from the kitchen compost bin being dispersed.
God provided!  


Snow peas are beginning to bloom!  A snack straight from the garden awaits.

Been dusting plants with diatomaceous earth.  
Not seeing any insect damage on the cabbages.
Zucchinis not looking too well.  Will dust again tomorrow.

For the earth
which drinketh in the rain
that falleth often upon it
and bringeth forth 
herbs fit for him
by whom it is tilled
received blessings from God.
Hebrews 6:7
