The Garden Report

After much dead-heading and TLC, the front roses are on their third bloom of the summer, although nothing matches that first bloom in June. Morning is the best time to catch the fragrance of the roses; their oils are fresh from the night and it smells wonderful.

The front pots are just happy to be there and have a little attention sometimes. Here it is August and they are still going strong. This is how our veggie garden looks today; it has survived the heat, bugs and a few uninvited friends to produce fantastically. As a matter of fact, if you find a cucumber magically appear in your car or on your doorstep, it was probably us trying to get rid of them. As you can see from these pictures, it was a very good year for the yard & garden. The grass, the flower beds, the flower pots....they all peaked at the same time and I felt pretty darn proud of all of our hard work. These pictures were taken around the end of June.
