Garden Tour Summer 2009

JULY 2009

It has been a challenging summer for growing plants and flowers because of the hot and dry weather so far this season. With temperatures hovering near the 100 degree mark for many days, hydrating my garden was a constant and daily necessity. Here are a few of my flowers that I am quite proud of. Hope you enjoy the tour. (Darcy, remember you urged me to do this one...)




Diasica... a lovely hanging basket of these Coral coloured blossoms welcomes visitors at the entrance of our driveway. One of my favourite annuals.
