How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

Crow, Cranky Crow...

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells,

...and cockle shells...

And a fluffle of bunnies all in a row.

To make your own bunny planter:

After danger of frost, plant a variety of colorful annuals in a large barrel or planter.

Water every other day, depending on precipitation; fertilize every 7-10 days.

Deadhead perennial blooms as needed (if there are any left).

Such As It Is....

This time of year, I generally post photos of my yard and gardens.

But, as I mentioned to Lauren (Rugs and Pugs), when I went out to take a few photos, I realized how dismal my gardens are this year.

I have lots of excuses of course:  Been busy; got a late start (had planned on not planting hoping to be at the lake...but...); my usual "go-to's" were gone when I did finally go; the Great Rabbit Invasion of Nod; monsoon-type rainfall; etc., etc.

 

But, as has been said, excuses build bridges to nowhere and tunnels to nothingness.

And since I have nothing else blog-worthy to say or show, you're getting a brief tour of my yard...such as it is.

{Calibrachoa}

{Black Velvet Petunias}

{Hydrangea}

{Osteospermum}

{Hydrangeas gone rogue...I can no longer see out of my kitchen window}

{Volunteer calibrachoa and baby's breath on my steps}

{First of the hibiscus beginning to bloom}

{Cornzebo all cleaned up}

{Petunias, osteospermum, and angelonia}

{...and Japanese beetles...LOTS of Japanese beetles...I literally just put this trap out}

And there you have it...such as it is.
