this week in the garden 7/22/13…

I’ve missed linking up to my own party over the past couple weeks ~ I’ll let you know why I’ve been so busy pretty soon! It isn’t for a lack of tending my garden and keeping up with all of my outdoor chores though – I’ve found time to definitely keep up with what needs to be done in the landscape!

This is where I spend my mornings with my coffee.

So much activity between the chickens, dogs and birds, bees and butterflies that visit the garden ~ there is always something to be watching.

As the weather has turned warmer the hydrangeas are not as happy as when they first began blooming.  Here are some pretty photo’s to share with you!

Sharing with you some recent photo’s I’ve taken of the roses in bloom.

 

Take a peek at the Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangeas in front of the house…a little pink has started!

Hollyhocks have come into bloom, I don’t have nearly as many as I’ve shared in the past.  Just these two.

Black Eyed Susan and Shasta Daisy’s have appeared ~

Roses are so happy this time of year!

Hope you are enjoying your garden too!
