...Sam is soaking
our "Christmas tree" sunflower is getting ready to bloom. I should adorn it with twinkle lights.
Last night a critter dug little holes all around the garden. Hunting my precious worms!
The potato crop will be good-hoping so!
I found that garden cloth is perfect to cover lettuce. The crop stays cooler, pest and critter free. I also have kohlrabi under cover. The leaves are still getting bitten here and there, but they are growing much better and bigger.
Zuke is doing well.
Cosmos growing tall and lush with an old push mower handle in the middle of it.
Greens are doing well...
I love dill-to eat and to draw and paint. It is a recurring theme in my paintings.
I have a new painting to show you maybe tomorrow.
Lovely poppies.
Lots of chamomile growing everywhere...
The 'walking' onion and columbine seem to grow fine together.
Our secret path in the privet hedge...
Our property borders two roads-this is a view out to the corner where our mailbox is.
Double day lily
We do need rain badly. We don't have the humidity and horribly hot temperatures yet this summer.
Thank you for visiting me this fine morning.

Good morning Debra, thanks for sharing your garden, it is growing sooo well. we have been so hot here that I am mostly trying to keep the perennials I planted alive. we have had a bit of rain though. your veggies look amazing. I have something now eating off leaves and flower tops-even my echinacea leaves-probably a deer walking through at night.
Happy new week hugs
Hi Debra! You have a wonderful natural garden. Pollinators love it for sure. We are here adviced not to clean gardens too lot, for to serve them what they need. The are dimishing lately over the world.
I'm waiting for seeing your painting soon 😀 👍
Have a lovely week ahead 🌺🌿💚
Oh how I would love to come meet you at the privet hedge to walk and talk with you along your secret path. I would be ever so quiet not to disturb Sam in her tub, for I think she might be prone to like her privacy. Your garden is doing so well. I love love those poppies!
Beautiful garden.
A skunk this year digs nearly every night here, holes deep as half a foot in places. I wish they made small self cleaning pools for Sam to paddle about. With the heat, a nice cool soak sounds wonderful.
I am slightly envious of your natural garden. It is beautiful and I love how you decorate it with old supplies and equipment, too. Your sunflower tree is awesome. I would LOVE to be able to grow dill in the ground instead of pots. Maybe someday if I ever get rid of that horrible bamboo. I can't believe you are still growing lettuce. It would have bolted by now with our 100 + degrees F. Everything is simply beautiful, dear. Even Sam looks happy.
You have a beautiful place! All your garden plants and the flowers are so healthy and pretty. Gosh, I would be tickled to death is any of our plants looked that good. I love your arbor! The dill is so pretty too. Usually I have dill come up in the garden without planting it but not this year.
You have a lovely garden. I especially like the path in the privet hedge.
Wonderful garden visit.
