We’re back for another garden update which means it’s been two weeks already! Those two week periods seem to be going faster and faster as the summer rolls along! I don’t have a lot of words today, just a lot of pictures for you, so I hope you enjoy!
The North bed is doing great! The Tickseed that I purchased from Natural Plus Nursery this spring is blooming like crazy (the red & yellow flower). The phlox are finally in full bloom and they are some of my favorite as they are so vibrant!
The dragon-leafed begonia are growing well and filling in my planters box and window boxes quite nicely!
The wild bed is full of color with one-eyed Susan, Hollyhocks, day lilies, and a few phlox peaking through!
I can’t believe how the Coleus have filled in the lower raised bed. I think those will be making an appearance next year! I will say that I’m rather disappointed in the Red Threads that I purchased and planted in the upper raised bed…they haven’t filled out quite like I had hoped!
The lily bed has been blooming like crazy for several weeks now and I just love it! I have a few more to bloom and I can’t remember what color they are so I’m excited for them to pop open! My miniature rose bush has been on it’s second round of blooms for over a week now and recently, my large rose bush joined in and opened two beautiful rose buds!
Finally, our vegetable garden! We’ve been eating green beans for a couple weeks and have actually planted two new rows where we had picked our carrots. We have harvested a few onions, one hill of potatoes, and one cucumber. The tomatoes are “almost there” along with the peppers growing like crazy and my broccoli finally started heads!
I hope you enjoy following along every two weeks as much as I enjoy giving you a tour! What’s growing in your garden right now? I’d love to hear about it, so feel free to comment below!
