July Garden Pictures



Here are some pictures of my July garden for those that didn't see them on our Facebook page.  Our daughter-in-law Elizabeth, son Dan and granddaughter Abigail came to visit from MD.  Elizabeth takes much better pictures than I do so I wanted to share them on my blog. This is one of my Asian pear trees.  Hope you enjoy!


This is Abigail.  She helped me deadhead the Marigolds and did a great job.  I could use her every week!


Guess who wants to come into the garden to snitch some veggies!


My great helpers - Abigail and Coco!


This is one of my favorites that Elizabeth took.


Again a picture of Abigail and I.


We have three of these birdhouses on poles.  The new ones are all painted and ready to be put up to replace these old ones now.


Clematis


This is another one of my favorites!


One of the pots on our deck.


We enjoy the sound of the water running in our new fountain very much.  Thanks for looking!!!!

Beautiful garden and photos! I especially love the watering can "pot" - just gorgeous. I was just talking to a friend today about how I wanted some kind of water feature in the yard - I so love the sound of water.

Hi Margaret, Thank you. Hope you get your water feature. It is relaxing to hear the water running! Nancy

Lovely photos. I used to have a water garden ages ago. I loved the sound of the water. But I got tired of taking care of it and when the pump died I didn't replace it, but just took out the little garden.

Very pretty photos. Your previous post asks "aren't you envious" about your blueberry harvest. My answer is, yes. Ha ha - we have a couple small plants with what appears to be a handful of green berries. We've yet to get even a total of what you harvested, and that's since planting them!

Hi Nancy! What a great job Elizabeth did with the photos! They are great! Your garden looks so nice, and I love the birdhouses! I'll check you out on Facebook. Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

Hi Daphne, My hubby takes care of the fountain so I am lucky in that way!! Nancy

Hi Becky, I am not very hopeful that I will ever get a huge amount of blueberries but we both can hope! Nancy

Hi Felecia, Elizabeth does take very nice pictures. I just wish all the flowers would bloom all summer and nothing would be knocked down by the wind and rain! Nancy

I always enjoy pictures of your garden. Your little helper is so sweet looking. I know you enjoy having her. Happy harvest.

Hi Audrey, Thank you! I only get to see Abigail once or twice a year and she did a great job deadheading the marigolds. Could use her help more often!! Nancy

  It was so nice to look out my bedroom window this morning and see the Clematis blooming instead of a pile of snow.  It is a rainy day agai...
