Dreaming of Summer

 

There I have said it! I am dreaming of summer. We worked in the garden this weekend. It was lovely. The air was perfect and cool and we had a nice ocean breeze. I wanted to stay outside all day. June will be on the calendar. I do love turning the page to a new month. April and May were so jam packed. I hope June slows down just a bit. Before I show you pictures of my garden I have to show you some pictures we got on the game cam the other night.

 

It is either a fox or a coyote. Where we have the camera set up now, its a freeway at night. We have also been picking up shapes that could be maybe owls or night hawks. So many really interesting things to see at night.

Okay now for my garden pictures.

 

Here is the long view of the garden. I have planted sunflowers between the trees and here at the end of the garden. So I can have the feeling of a secret garden.

 

I had to show you my zinnias! We planted them on Saturday. These were seeds I meant to plant last year, so I really didn't know if they would grow, and when we went out last night they were already up.

 

This is my whole zinnia bed.  I thought it might be nice to break up the green from cucumbers and pumpkins.

My tomatoes are growing like crazy.

The one good thing about hot weather is that tomatoes just love it.

The plums and apricots are just so pretty this time of year.

This is Ron's pepper garden. This next weekend, Ron is going to have two dump truck loads of mulch/bark
delivered so we can put it between the plants and hopefully it will keep the moisture in as well as deter weeds. I am going to put in one more bed of zinnias, and plant some more sunflowers and plant some dill.
I keep thinking of more things to plant. My back flowerbed is pretty much turning into a herb bed.

I will show those next post.

I love spending my days working in the garden.
 Have a wonderful Wednesday.
