Zing enjoying the day.
We've got some of the projects done over the past few days. Two wild flower beds have been prepared, one partially seeded. I greatly underestimated the amount of seed I need. Mowing, weeding. It's a start. Of course heat and humidity have moved in, so it's a limited amount of time I am able to spend outside. I plan to go to the local nursery this afternoon to buy my few vegetable plants.
So lovely and Green tho'! But I can relate to the incoming Heat sapping Strength and Stamina.
ReplyDeleteI can't tolerate the high humidity that has become the norm now, Dawn. It is green.
DeleteI love those pictures! Especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteMy orphan boy, Cheerful. He's a big goof.
DeleteI am a real horse’s ass for having to zoom in on that first photo to see what the creature was. You’ve probably dropped the name countless times, but names don’t stick very well with me.
ReplyDeleteI needed the laugh, AC!
DeletePretty photo of your horse with all the shadows and that lush green around him. Everything's looking lovely. I'm going to plant some ferns in our shady spots along with the hostas. It will have to stop raining before I can get out in the garden.
ReplyDeleteYou get too much rain, we get too little, Denise. Be aware that as much as hosta spread, ferns invade! I've been transplanting hosta because ferns had consumed every bit of their space! The ferns in the photo were not put there by me.
DeleteSandra, those hostas and ferns are quite the trick for a good bed in partial shade. Bravo to You and Your Green Thumb.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tommy. As long as they have enough shade they take care of themselves.
DeleteI bet the wildflowers will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Dreaming.
DeleteThe hostas and ferns look lovely, as does the top photo of the horse in amongst the trees. I'm looking forward to seeing your flower beds.
ReplyDeleteI hope they do well, Pixie. Mark put in a lot of work.
DeleteI just did some wildflower gardens. My new trick is to plant them crowded which crowds out the weeds.
ReplyDeleteI missed this post, but I was outside working all day.
Zing looks like he is walking through part of our forest area. So pretty and green too!
I just throw them and lightly rake, Val. We will be 90 F today so no outside work for me.
DeleteI live in a softwood forest and we have given up arguing with it.
Of course I love seeing your stallion! Working in gardens when it’s hot is draining. Val’s suggestion regarding planting seeds close to eliminate weeds is a good one. Lori
ReplyDeleteThe easy thing about the minuscule wild flower seeds is you simple throw them, Lori. I did this over 20 years ago in an unused green paddock and they are still blooming. No soil prep at all.
DeleteWe've tried to create a wild lawn but all we get is a lot of grass and a few buttercups.
ReplyDeleteMy son's wife started a native plant lawn several years ago and it is doing well. The front lawn is quite small, which I suppose helps, nick,
DeleteNice bunch of ferns and Hosta
ReplyDeleteThank you, FS.
DeleteReally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. No cats!
DeleteEverything looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lori.
DeleteThis is lovely, especially the horse cropping away. It's going to be amazing. And it just showed up here now! I thought you were taking a break.
