Week in the garden 7/29/13…

We, here in Seattle have been experiencing days filled with sunshine that we are just not used to having so much of.  I am not complaining and neither is the garden ~ well, the grass is…but as long as there is water, everything is happy! I’ve had so many inquiries about the Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangeas ~ I thought I would share more photo’s of what they look like this week. Still a lot of white, but the pink shades are definitely appearing more each day.

Many other late bloomers have appeared over the past week ~

Gladiolas, Guara, Coneflower, Crocosmia, Rose of Sharon ~ all are attracting the hummingbirds!

The pathways are so pretty with the Hydrangeas are still putting on a show ~ sharing some color just where its needed most!

 

I found some great deals at Home Depot this week – clearance rack plants to fill this newly spray painted planter. 

Earlier this week, I shared about missing my friend Ashley ~ funny thing is the Stargazer Lilly’s I planted with her in mind opened up this week!  Below is a text exchange we had back in February!
