I can’t believe this
is the last day of June already??!!
Is this summer
whizzing past or what??
I thought you all
might want to see how my Salsa Garden is doing.
Life at the
Stonybrook House has been pretty busy.
My daughter is
gearing up for a missions trip for 3 weeks and we have also been busy at the
apartments,
(where I believe I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel).

But all of that has
not stopped my garden from growing!
I think it’s growing
great!
Check it out!
Now since then, my wonderful hubby, trimmed (practically mutilated) the tomato plants. He said, that they will be just fine. I hope so….
All of the plants
seem to be thriving. I did notice that
something was chowing down on the
zuchinni plant’s leaves.
Does anyone have any idea what it might be? I don’t have a clue, but I was informed to dust them with sevin. That seems to have helped.
The new leaves look healthy.

Harvest! Aren’t they wonderful?

Not sure how, maybe
some grillin?
I can’t wait for the
rest of the harvest!
I’m craving fresh
salsa!!!
All of my flowers seem to be thriving.
My window boxes have transformed!
Here's a before:
Remember when I did this post on my
Painted Window Boxes?
They look so scrawny...
But check them out now!
Aren't they full and gorgeous?
I used the moisture control soil, there are a few different brands out there. I just love that I don’t have to worry so much if I forget a day or two of watering.

You should try that
in your flower planters, plus it has the fertilizer in it,
which helps them grow.
I have to show you the before...

They make me
smile. I love flowers.
And see that green
pot? I spray-painted that and it’s done
just fine!
Remember my again, my Painted Window Box post, where I wasn’t sure it would work on plastic?
They all are holding
up great!
And, I love summer!
Not necessarily the extreme heat, but that’s when you gotta jump in the pool!
I also love having the kiddos home from college. Summer is flying by.
I want to enjoy each day!

Are you enjoying your
summer?
Lori, you have a green thumb! I love all your flowers and veggies, especially that zucchini. You need to come visit and tell me what I'm doing wrong! My garden is a disaster this year. The only thing that has survived the critters and the heat have been the tomatoes and peppers.
ReplyDeleteAwww! What a bummer! For me the key is to stay up on the watering. And to attack those bugs and critters fast! Well, tomatoes and peppers.... sounds like the right ingredients for salsa!! :D
DeleteHello! This is a test to see if my blogger profile now shoes my email address. I don't want to be a no-reply blogger. THANK YOU so much for telling me that I was! I googled it and think I got it all figured out. But would you mind letting me know if you can respond to this?! Thanks so much!
