It’s summer, not officially yet, but I am already not into the weather. The temps have been so far warm in the shade and in the sun, it’s hot. Honestly, it has been quite okay so far with temps in the 50’s F in the mornings and on some nights we get free air-conditioning. With the warm/hot weather these days, the plants are popping up in my garden. The perennials (hostas, dahlias, lilies, roses) came right back up. I got rid of all the annuals last fall.
The rabbits were out in full force. I went to Bachman’s a tad too late to get the rabbit scram granules. Those buggers had already gotten to some of the lilies’ leaves. Since I put the granules down around the plants, it has been good. It kept those cotton tail rabbits out of the plants. However, the boys are loving the smell of the granules. They kept going to the garden to sniff the plants and not sure what else they did out there til I had to yell at them to “Get outta there!!!”
I had to go to Pahl’s Market for flower supports. When i was at Pahls, I so wanted to get as many annuals as I want but the pocket is telling me not to. Look at all the flowers in their green house, all ready to get rid of them.
The next thing I so want for my front yard or patio is a water fountain thing surround it with a bunch of plants. I like the froggie water fountain which is $200.
Anyways, the flower supports are for the Dahlia plants since the boys have been laying on them and the plants are now lying flat on the ground instead of erect! The dahlias are blooming good though, I cut the blooms and placed them in a vase. What do you think? Might bring this vase of flowers for SD tomorrow.
