A Tour of My Garden in Mid June



Things are growing.

Swiss Chard, not sure what happened to the rest of the seeds, but some came up.


Cucumbers.


Radishes.


Peppers.


Eggplant, not sure it is going to make it, the beetles are feasting.


Tomato Blossoms.


Actual Tomatoes...small and green...but still tomatoes.


Savoy Cabbage.


More Kale.


Carrots, just poking through.


Lettuce.


Zinnias...even if some of them are in the wrong place.


Fairy Garden, rejuvenated.


Hanging pots.

Is there really snow in the forecast for tonight?

My fairy garden awaits a makeover after overwintering outside, while I enjoy a small bouquet of grape hyacinths. 
I don't care if there is less than an inch expected...I am wishing for beautiful days like we had on Easter weekend.  Enjoyed a walk both Saturday and Sunday last weekend and now today I almost blew away when I went to get out of my car.
I have been just reaching the edge of dreaming what I will plant in my garden this year, each day when I come home from work and see the garden across the yard, just waiting for me to come and utilize it, however I know they will come and till it eventually, and if I plant something before than it will dislodged from its growing place and then the busyness of life overcomes me and the dreaming flits away.  However, today I got to dream through my sister for a few minutes, while she enchanted me with plans for her very first season in a community garden plot.

Uh, oh, news flash....I got sidetracked and didn't finish the post, I can officially tell you that it did snow Saturday night, the power went out and my car was left out in the cold and I had to scrape the snow off this morning...but oh, well I still see signs of spring.

Morning's gift.

Daffodils are blooming.
