My Gardens

by

My gardens are all doing beautifully.  (The squirrels are really loving the tomatoes in the vegetable garden) The flowers are at their peak.  We’ve been getting rain and it’s just starting to get really hot.

Garden
This is supposed to be my "white and blue" garden. I planted endless summer blue hydrangeas but they defy me by turning pink even though I'm adding aluminun sulfur as suggested on all the gardening websites.

Lilies

by

My neighbor gave me these lilies last year.  He dug them up along the road several years ago and they multiply quickly.  I keep them contained in my shed garden so they won’t take over my other flower beds.  While they do not bloom all summer, they are lovely during their brief flowering with their little faces turned towards the sun.Surprise Lilies
