Garden color

Blooms are taking off in this heat.

Lovely.

We're expecting...I say, expecting...a rise in temps starting tomorrow all the way through next week.

I just picked up 6 azaleas and 6 lavenders and some new calla lilies (and in planting them, found my missing ones, deep under the rocks in the garden, so I moved some of the rocks to help them along...

I have some azaleas already in bloom, roses fixin' to bust out and my camelia has already bloomed and died off...but the golden chain and the wisteria are popping out and hopefully, we'll see some dogwood blooms soon.  It's just been so rainy.  I guess I need to buy some apple socks for the little apples to keep bugs off, but since we're really just growing them for the deer, not sure I'll do that, or use any pesticides.

Apple socks? Never heard of that.   My callas are about a foot tall now...no blooms yet.

Brilliant and beautiful color.  Our little City just put the water rates up which is a joke as we have never had so much rain and the dams are so full.  Can't cut down on watering the garden during the predicted heatwave.  Everything is looking good now and color just popping out.

Well I'm back...
No pic would do it justice...grass grew up to my chin...enough said.
I think the bird bath is still there...have to search for it...

While in Memphis I lost 30 lbs or more...did not know...

I am told if we plan to eat any of our apples, we should start treating them early with pesticides too, but I'm not a fan of that.

Oh no luv - you'll be losing more weight getting your house back in order.  Hope it was an easy drive from Memphis to Hellsville. 

Takn - what kind of apples are you growing?  I bet the Washington apples we buy at the store have been treated.  If you're just letting the deer have them - they'll just have a little meat with their dessert.
