It’s late July and this cool, rainy summer has made everything late in my gardens. And even though I don’t have enough energy these days to make it look perfect, there’s a lot of lovely stuff going on out there. So enjoy what we have, right? One of the things I love in my garden is my lavender. I have 17 lavender bushes around the side of my house among the roses and in the summer they are a sensory delight. I can stand by them and smell their fragrance, see hundreds of honeybees flying all through them, and hear the bees buzzing. Because I basically live in the country it’s pretty quiet and that many bees are loud! I just stood out there for several minutes yesterday while I was taking pictures and enjoyed that sensory overload. Yum!
I’m sharing the other photos I took and you can click on one to open them all in a gallery with descriptions and plant names.
Because I love gardening, I’m Paying It Forward to a garden blog I found recently called Home Garden Diggers. Yael has tons of interesting tips and information about all sorts of gardening topics. I’m actually quite amazed at how much great info she has archived here.
