Summery Blooms

Just a few snaps of what’s been going on in the garden the last couple of months…

Spring eased it’s way into summer with the blooming of the lilacs.

Then summer started off with a bang, thanks to the showy peonies.

And the many the wayward daisies.

The bees were hard at work in the geraniums.

And the poppies dazzled from beginning to end.

They were soon followed by the day lilies.

The bluebells.

And the roses.

My containers provided much joyful colour.

While the thistles provided much frustration.

With the harvesting of the lavender, things slow down.

The days are getting shorter, and the produce is just starting to be enjoyed. Soon there will be echinacea, lamb’s ear, and Russian sage flowers, and before you know it, fall will be right around the corner. But hopefully not too soon. 😉
