Playing in the Garden...

Sunday was such a beautiful day here in Ohio. Sunny with a little breeze and temperatures in the low 70s. Spending time soaking up some Vitamin D and working on my garden and with my flowers seemed like the perfect plan. 

My garden is 15' x 40'. This year I planted a few varieties of onions, peppers and tomatoes. Along with cucumbers, a zucchini plant, a couple rows of beans and peas and some Yukon gold potatoes. Things are starting to come in nicely.  Added some metal lattes for the cucumbers to cling to. Even though they are bush I want to keep them contained a little bit.
 

We have added some grape vines. My in-laws are from Croatia and grow beautiful grapes. And make delicious wine 😉 Super excited to see how they do.



Our house came with a built in fountain. The water to it still  works but time has done a number on the concrete. For a few years I have wanted to grow sunflowers in it. They are my favorite flower. I cleaned out the outer ring (thinking about some blue crystals with epoxy going in there), added some manure to the center and planted my seeds. 🌻 We have added a few chestnut and plum trees. 

 

These salmon and yellow flowers flanking my office are just beautiful. 



The hydrangea started as a gift from my Aunt and just thrive in this flower bed. They have tripled in size. I added a second one last year along with the hosta.


I think God was pleased with my efforts today and blessed me with this gorgeous evening sky.
