Our Summer Garden
~ the trumpet vine springs into its glory ~
~gentle impatiens in an old moss basket that I filled in May ~
~ hardy Dusty Miller over-wintered in this pot ~
~ Bacopa - overwintered throughout the garden and by picking up the tiniest strays they "took" beautifully to their pampered surroundings ~
~ the anonymous lime green plant, another of those hardy types that lasted through the winter and by dividing its huge mass provided me with two healthy off spring~
~ purple petunia - my favorite of all petunias because of its amazing, glorious fragrance ~ an annual ~
The garden as a whole doesn't look that great right now but taken in micro chunks it is still wonderful! Our lawns are brown, with hints of green here and there due to a total watering ban this summer on lawns and so..... the essential backdrop, lush green manicured lawns, is absent from our garden this summer.
And the abundant and lush garden I had planned on having this year didn't materialize to anything more than four tomato plants, lots of dill, parsley, oregano and chives-herbs which you'll find in at least one dish everyday at our table. We are grateful!

Lovely garden! I love that this winter was mild enough for some of our plants to survive through.
I always love your garden Alice...feels like home! And you always have good ideas about everything. Thanks for sharing!
I was feeling a bit sad about my own garden, until I read your post about looking at the individual pieces. Makes me see my own yard in a new way. Thank you.
