As summer moves steamily along, I thought I would take you for a walk to see what's going on in our "holler":
I do believe our Hibiscus is blooming more than I can ever remember. I think it is such a sight to see - so much in fact...........
I bought two more to plant - I lucked out - first I saw the pink one with the darker center at Lowe's for $7.99. Since I was looking for a Butterfly Bush (ours died this past year after 10+ years), I thought - oh well, I'll just wait. I then went to Home Depot and didn't find a Butterfly Bush there, however, I found the same Hibiscus, in addition to a dark pink one - for $1.99 each - same size as the $7.99 one at Lowes. Talk about a bargain:
All of the Crape Myrtles are in bloom, especially this "dwarf" one!
After a third stop, I succeeded in finding a dark purple Butterfly Bush, a dark red Crape Myrtle and two blueberry bushes......seems like we have some work to do:
The garden is moving right along. The Sweet Banana Peppers are almost ready to pick - I've been researching some interesting recipes to try.
We've planted (or rather, my husband planted) more tomato plants so that we can extend our tomato season........
The cucumber bushes are now gone, so we'll enjoy the last of.......
And, last but not least, the fig trees are doing great.
They are both loaded with figs. I just love watching these. This is the first year in a long time that we will reap the harvest of figs.
There's nothing like a fresh fig!!!!!
Hope your summer is going as good as mine!!!!!
