I hope you're having a nice day. The last few weeks have been busy ones for me. First, a daughter and her little family visited for a week. Then, most of the rest of the kids and their families came for a reunion, and last week I went to Indiana to help my son's family with their new little one. It's been busy and fun. I'm back to my "usual" (whatever that is) routine, so I thought I'd share some pictures of the garden today. The relentless heat and sun of this time of year always creates a challenge in my garden. No matter how much water I pour on my plants, it just doesn't compensate for the high temps and the scorching sun. In about a month, the plants will get a break in the hot weather and they will perk back up.
We have a bumper crop of lettuce this year. It's shaded throughout the day, so the sun doesn't bother it too much...
Many plants in my containers are struggling, but the geraniums love the heat.
My morning glory are beginning to bloom. I love going out early in the morning and seeing their beautiful deep purple faces!
Luscious impatiens have completely filled the planter boxes we made last spring.
Wishing you a nice Bloomin' Tuesday.
