The Third Week Of July In The Garden: The Backyard

As threatened, I'm back with last week's backyard flower pics.  There's not a ton of new stuff blooming, but the pots are definitely more filled in.






























My mom made this cute little broken pot planter.
 

All my cute little succulents are likin' the heat.








All the basil has kicked it into high gear.
'Bout time.




The bee balm is blooming now.





I had to take pictures of this rose again.
It's the one that was here when I bought the house.
I love it.





And the rest are just random shots around the yard.













I have to throw in this last lone morning glory.
He'd be sad if I left him out.


You have no idea how glad I am that it's Friday.
AND, after being without a car for TWO WEEKS, it's finally coming home from the shop today.
We're celebrating by loadin' up the herd and headin' to my sister's for dinner.
Have a good weekend!


Please see my sidebar for the parties I link up to.

  3. As always, I am completely blown away by the beauty of your garden. Those fuschias and violets, especially. And yay car!! Being without a car is so frustrating, soon you will have the freedom to go wherever whenever once again :)

  4. Actually I have a pretty good idea how happy you are that it's Friday because I am feeling exactly the same way. It seems like it's been a long week.

    Dang I wish I could get my Peegee hydrangea to look as nice as yours. Maybe the problem could be the fact that it was in a whiskey barrel until early this spring when I moved it to an in-ground location. It's still not looking very happy though. Hopefully next year. Your phlox are looking luscious. That rose is also just fabulous.

    So much gorgeousness! Have a wonderful weekend.

  12. Gorgeous, gorgeous as always. Will you please take photos of your garden in the middle of winter? I just want to see it looking average. Our bee balm has already finished up, funny how our bloom times are off.
