The garden in summer

The birds will have plenty of crabapples this winter. I’ve never seen the trees so full.

My feeble attempt at a dried flower arrangement. (It’s already falling apart. These things are extremely fragile.

These three Angel Wing begonias were over-wintered under grow lights in the basement. (cut them back to about a foot tall, put them in smaller pots, then put them back in the big planters for the summer. ) MORE FREE PLANTS!

This coleus was started from cuttings from last year’s plant. (To start coleus from cuttings, cut a piece from a plant you like, remove bottom leaves. Stick it in a planter with potting soil. This one had 4 or 5 cuttings.). FREE PLANTS!

Garden art on the walls. I’m always on the lookout for stuff that I can put in the garden without letting it get too crazy. These are the things I have hanging on walls and fences outside the house.

Many of my 15-foot (+] sunflowers fell in the gusty winds this week. Once again, the birds get a buffet.

The pink perennial hibiscus. These were taken two days ago. It now has 7 of these huge blooms and many buds that haven’t opened yet. It leaves me flabbergasted!

This is Meadowrue. I almost cut off the buds last week because the plants were hiding the ones behind them. I’m so glad I didn’t. I love those bright splashes of light yellow.

Paths and sidewalks in the garden. I have removed all grass and replaced them with garden paths. I was blessed with a perfect location with many levels to work with.

It’s getting colorful here.

A couple years ago someone gave me a tub full of irises. I thought there were too many, but I planted all of them. I’m so glad I did.

Blooming between the cracks.
This spring is driving me crazy! It’s cold, it’s windy and there’s almost no sun.
Against all the rules (again), I started planting some of the seedlings that I started under lights.
Two beautiful days in the garden and I’m pooped! But I’m finding so much green under those flat leaves - bee balm, violas, daylilies, coreopsis, lamium, creeping Jenny and several other ground covers. There are just a few small patches of snow here and there (along with that mountain at the end of the driveway). The forecast includes 70s for the rest of the week. I think the gardening season is finally here!
