No summer would be complete without some Zinnia’s in the garden or on my table.
Though my house is under construction, I’m still bringing in flowers for the table.
I’m in love with the morning light in my new dining room.

The Heat Is On
Just what the garden has been waiting for!
The flowers were just waiting for the warm up to show their flowers.
It’s going to be a colorful week here in the little garden.
Nasturtium is one of my favorite flowers.
The entire plant is edible! Add them to your fresh salad for a little peppery zip.
Now I just need some tasty heirloom tomatoes….come on garden!
Daylily Chores
When the lilies are in bloom, I dead head each evening.
It’s a quiet, peaceful garden chore that I rather enjoy.
In the morning I’m greeted with fresh looking plants ready to open more flowers for the day.
Waiting For First’s
The first little flower that will appear in my garden.
Soft lavender flowers on the Creeping Phlox.
They are the beginning I always wait for.
Just A Pretty Face
Keep Those Monarchs Happy
Who Needs Coffee!
2 years ago I had great success with my little crop of celosia. Started from seed in the greenhouse, it struggled to take off and I lost even more when I planted it into The Pickery. I didn’t give up and with plenty of watering was able to encourage several large heads to form. What a spectacular color burst in the garden.
Last years crop was a dismal failure, with stems barely reaching 2 feet tall. What flowers did form were very small. Digging back in the archived images from the garden reminded me that I should give these a try–again!
Evening Rain
A light rain fell as evening approached.
Garden Textures
The garden changes daily now.
Sunflowers, Bee Balm, Cone Flowers, Brown Eyed Susan flowers fill up the empty spaces.
The back drop of corn fields rustle with the wind.
Blue Jays are calling me to fill the bird feeders.
Rolling up my sleeves for a good day.
Garden Goals
The last couple of growing seasons, I have worked on adding daylily’s to the perennial garden.
This year I’m seeing the benefit of that decision.
Tooting my own horn!
