Wow! Summer is just speeding by! It seems like I was just shopping for 4th of July. My flowers have done really well this year too. The ones you see along the front walkway are just exploding with color. I always have mixed emotions when I have to remove them in the Fall when we replace them with ornamental cabbages. My vegetable garden has also produced quite a bit. I don't know how I got lucky!
Yesterday, I cleaned up my craft room in anticipation of Fall crafts. I need a clean workspace or I get distracted so while we have painters working on the first floor, I thought it would be a good time to do that task. I just finished this morning. I realize I am guilty of alot of" works in progress." Next year I need to make that one of my New Year's resolutions to finish what I start!
My husband built a grilling area for his smoker and our new bbq but we can't seem to get the countertop concrete yet It's been backordered for months but we still can use it.That was his Summer project. It worked out so well on the 4th of July as I could put all the food on the counter and everyone could serve themselves. He made grat storage behind it as well.
Some more flower pictures In September, we will dig up the bulbs of our cannas and elephant ears to save for next year. When we come back from our vacation, I will be pretty busy. the only thing I don't do that i wish I did was can. I don't have a garden thats big enough to produce enough to can I did make stewed tomatoes in jars though. i add them to soups and when I make pot roast. It adds alot of flavor and texture to the gravy. I have done freezer jams too but I didn't this year.

You have a beautiful garden. I feel the same mixed emotions pulling up summer plants for winter pansies and then taking up the pansies in the spring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a bbq area, especially when you have company over. Love your flowers. We have not had enough rain here do mine are not doing as well. Janice
