Welp, we made it through the heatwave or as some people say, the beginning of summer. I'm a cold weather girl so I'm not a huge fan of the heat and/or humidity. I think that I am in good company! However, I am a huge fan of the flowers and other plants that flourish because of the heat and the rain. Today on my drive to work, I was behind a couple of Amish buggies so it was slow going. There really is no place to safely pass them on our windy road so I was just enjoying the view. The day lilies are out in full force! I also saw quite a few hollyhocks which I never noticed before. I guess I just wasn't going slow enough. I saw chicory, mullein, daisies, as well as some other flowering plants that were just gorgeous set against the greenery.
My garden is doing well. I've harvested exactly 7 strawberries from the plants I planted in April. Woohoo! I'm sure next year I'll have a much better turnout!
These are climbing roses that grow in a bush beside the road I've tried many times to start a new plant but no luck. |
It has finally been warm enough that the chihuahuas don't need to climb under the quilts! |
These are just some of the day lilies along my way. |
