I love working in the yard because everyday, I see new blooms and new life. Every plant in the garden is looking very healthy. I think it is because this is the longest summer that I have been home so I am able to water the plants regularly. I water them in the morning and late afternoon.We have a lot of potted plants on the pool deck. I think this is John's favorite. I like it too! Look how tall the ornamental cabbage is!
I think this is an Asian iris. My friend dug it out when pool men were digging out for the pool, and planted it in a pot. It has really grown since.
Our day lilies came back from last year and are blooming now. We have orange, red and yellows.
This is the veggie garden after I planted some herbs, tomatoes and peppers. The rosemarie's been there since last year. It lived through the winter time.
Look at it now!
I went around today taking pictures of the tomatoes and there are a lot of them though not quite red yet.
Aren't those tomatoes just beautiful? I hope they get ripe before my grandkids and Janie visit at the end of the month. I think the kids will have a lot of fun picking them and Janie, I and hubbies can eat fresh tomatoes. These are cajun tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes.
Do you see how big the grape vine has grown since I last posted it?
And lots of tiny grapes are all over it.
I hope you enjoyed seeing a little part of the garden. BTW, I found a "My Secret Garden" sign. I had it custom made by Paula at http://www.castleandcottage.blogspot.com/ You should go check out her Etsy shop. She is very creative and so talented! I can't wait to get and hang it on my secret garden's retaining wall. Thank you all for your visit.
