My vine on the west side or front of my house, is doing awesome this year. It WAS good last year, but it just seems to be "all a bloom"! And the smell is wonderful. What is nice is it will bloom all summer and into the fall!
Everything is filling out nicely with all the warm weather we have been having. I have had to water some since we have had no rain, till Friday evening that is! A nice rain with some storms, I was out of town though, and we had some storms as well and nice rain pulling thru! Saturday everything looks so refreshed from it's "drink". Hopefully we will get still more!
My salvia is blooming, just love the color!
My northside is growing well too, just love seeing all the changes a garden goes thru as warm weather wanders in and then decides to stay! Then the hot weather starts which I'm not too fond of, except for the garden thing, I wouldn't fare well at all. I am a fall and spring person. And we won't get started on that, one, my friend will "hurt" me..HA! two, I am bound and determined to find enjoyment in each season that is given us! To "stop and smell the flowers" or vegetable, since I love doing that also.
Speaking of which, here is my garden, the weeds, of course, decided hey lets grow quick! So you have to "carefully" pick out their unwantedness from your lovely sprouting, lettuces and beets, ugh! But it is part of it, just like life, the good and the bad seem to entwine together. aah, what can one do but thru prayer, weed out the hard, the frustrating, the stuff that you just don't know what to do with, or make any sense of. I cast it, or pluck it out of my thinking, onto Him, or it will just swirl around causing nothing but grief. And taking any and all joy from you.
The tomato plants are just growing gangbusters. Don't ya just love that first fresh tomato, I know it will be awhile fore I have those.
Again, enjoying the process of everything having it's own time and season.
I've always wanted a blue house! Beautiful. The garden too.
