Even More June Gardening Tips- Roses!

 











Today I "dead-headed" my Knock Out Rose Bush. It was blooming beautifully during the Spring, but now the spent blooms need to be snipped off. You don't have to do this with a Knock Out Rose, but it will bloom a lot more if you do!

It may look like this now....but it already has some buds on it ready to bloom soon. Dead heading it will just make it more prolific - I do this all the way until Fall.









It doesn't take long, and it will reap big rewards!

Spring Really Is Bustin' Out All Over!

We planted things pretty early this year as it got warm early

Everything is doing well and is pretty established

We put a flag out that we snagged at a yard sale last year :)

These look purple, but they aren't they're BLUE



These tiny white flowers pictured above are actually growing on my moss!
It was taken really, really close up



My herbs in the pot are really thriving, tomato plant too!
(Cherry tomato)

Our blackberry plant has lots of blooms!

Our cranberry did too--the flowers are almost gone though
I waited too long to take a pic!

Cukes are getting some mature leaves

Brad's lettuce is so lush and green

Strawberries are being picked already

I really like the strawberry picture above

Briana's foxgloves above
and chamomile below are both blooming





I've had a hard time getting these squash plants going :/

This watermelon plant has speckled leaves, and the watermelon will
be speckled too...it's called Moon and Stars


Think I'll get any peaches off my new tree?




We planted these table grapes last year...can't wait to see what they're going to do!
The guys have to build me a trellis yet...


Hope your Spring is off to a good start!

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Psalm 98:4

Summer Fades to Fall

Summer is drawing to a slow close...
And Bingley is now 8 months old
The sky has been stormy several times
(kind of neat after a summer with no rain)
We're still getting Peppers (we didn't pick these in time--now they're "woody")

Our Black-eyed Susan vine is more beautiful than ever!

 I picked a basketful of Peppers today
 Brad bought the yellow mums on clearance last year for 10 cents each!
 The Knock-out Rose still keeps cranking out blooms below


We've been doing some baking, and finished up our canning





We put out our Fall Decorations


We're having a bit of trouble getting out of "Summertime mode"
Right now it feels like Indian Summer--yesterday was 80!
But I guess it's time to say...so long Summer!


When summer gathers up her robes of glory,



And, like a dream, glides away.
