Week 11 - June 12-23

My flower beds are looking great!  I love my flowers!  Everything is doing well, evening primrose is in bloom through out all the beds, sweet william has been blooming for a little while, hardy geranium is covered in blooms and yesterday my first lily of the year was open!  There are lots of things with buds to open in coming weeks.

There haven't even been too many weeds.  Or maybe I am just keeping ahead of them better than usual.  Either way, I am happy!  I added a couple new things this week .  .  . a new Hen and Chicken and a galardia.  I have another new plant, I can't remember what it is called, but it has cool purple spiky flowers.  I haven't planted it yet as it is fairly large and I have to find a good spot, but hubby picked it out.  Watch for it in next week's photos.

Week 10 - June 5/6 - Vegetable Garden

Didn't do a thing in the garden last week . . . but here are some photos of my little baby veggies!  Not everything was up yet at the end of last week, but everything is doing well.  Tomatoes and peppers still weren't planted, but will be soon!

I love rain drops on flowers, it just looks so pretty.  Last week I was able to get a few shots of my flowers after a rain shower.

Robins

Some silly robins have decided that the lights on the front of our house are a good home. 

And I'm not just talking about one pair of robins.  There are nests in BOTH of the lights!

Of course, as luck would  have it, by the time we discovered the nests, there were already eggs in one of them and baby robins in the other one.  We will be watching closely for them to fly away so that we can take the nests out of the light fixtures and figure out a way to keep the tops from blowing open in the wind as this is the second year that we have had robins in these lights.  Lucky for the robins, the lights don't work!
