Summer Flowers

Wow it's been a while since I've shared pictures of my flowers.  I haven't even shared the lilies yet!  You know how much I love my summer garden.  Check out these summer beauties!

The praying mantids hatched late this year!

First tomato of the year!

What are you growing in your garden?

Peace.  Love.  Serene.

Summer Garden 1

Let the SUMMER GARDEN commence!

It's amazing.  I GREW these!!

I picked up a few new foxglove and delphinium.  I keep saying to my farmer's market flower guy, George, "I don't have any more room in my garden!" And he says, "You said that last week!"  So no, I didn't actually grow these, but they are now a part of my garden and a part of my soul, so I thought I would share! 

I just wanted to add this in because I love this flower, and I love that the iPhone 5S was able to take such a gorgeous picture!

I bought an egg sack of Praying Mantids at the farmer's market (no, not Mantis, which refers to a specific genus - I had to Google that!) - they hatched in their container in a couple of weeks, and I put them out in my garden to catch their dinner (bugs!)

Last year, after I put them in the garden, I never saw them again, except that I saw a 3-4 inch long praying mantid in the fall after he had been eating all summer.  I jumped back!  But this year I found a baby a couple days after I let them free!  

Do you see him?  (or her)

What did you grow in your garden this week?

Peace.  Love.  Serene.
