I'm GLAD I had Glads!

These are Glads from bulbs I planted last year. I didn't get the chance to dig them up last fall, but they are blooming faster than the ones I planted this year!

Why I Garden

I love, love, love, cut flowers! I like to see them in my yard, but in order to not feel guilty about cutting (have no idea why I should feel guilt!) all my color out, I grow tons of flowers!

My favorite cut flower are my Carnations. I love their spicy scent, and if I put a small vase by our bed, I can enjoy the smell all night!

Man, it's hot out here!

It's been very hot for the past few days. We were supposed to get some rain today, but I think it rained for about a minute! Looks like I will be watering tomorrow!

Just some shots I took this afternoon, before the rain was "supposed" to come!

Let the heat begin!

It's not quite hot now, but it will be in the 90's in a day or two! Here is my Lilly. I have 3 of them, and after 2 years of feeding the bunnies, it decided to award my patience with several blooms! I planted a few black Hollyhocks 2 years ago and they decided to bloom this year. I had given up, so I was surprised when I saw buds.Gallardia Fanfare after I moved it. It didn't seem to mind the move.

Ok...it's off to water!

I planted some Iris's around the Black Gum Trees (9), White Nepeta (3), and Red Dianthus (3).

I also moved some red Salvia that I thought was a "no show", so I moved them to the front of the front bed. I planted 3 Blue Eyed Grasses close to the one I planted last year..
