Here it is already. August’s Bloom Day. Our flowerbeds are not impressed with this crazy, hot, dry summer we’re having. I’m not impressed with it either. The flowerbeds in general look quite crummy. But there are a few, very few, plants that have powered through the weather and are blooming.
The middle of July is already upon us, which means it’s Bloom Day. We had an unusually hot, dry June, which put the flowerbeds ahead of their usual schedule. We’ve been watering enough to keep the plants alive, but maybe not enough to keep them happy and producing their best. We’re already at the point …
June is definitely one of my favorite months in the flowerbeds. Here’s some of what’s blooming now & why I love this time of year:
Here’s what’s blooming in our gardens on the 15th of May:
It’s already here. The 15th of the month. And that means it’s Bloom Day, a day to show off the beauties in our flower gardens. It is raining like crazy this morning, and will probably not let up ’til May. But, I did manage to get a few pics the other day before the flowers …
This spring we began installing a pond in an area of the Bird Village that has always been problematic. I worked on it in the cool mornings of summer & it’s finally complete.
September’s upon us and the colors in my flowerbeds are starting to fade. I’m going to guess this isn’t the best my gardens have looked this time of year. The weather has been warmer than usual, I haven’t been watering much & I haven’t kept up on the weeding or deadheading as I should be. …
For the most part, the flowerbeds are now past their prime. There are more dead or dying flowers than fresh, colorful blooms – which, is always a bummer. Although, the day lily in this title image is looking great. It is Daylily “Night Beacon.’
It’s amazing. Summer’s really here & my flowerbeds are at their peak.
Much is still blooming from May’s Bloom Day post, but there are a lot of new things, too.
