It's that time of year, Harley spends his nights outside chasing mice and moles and comes in at 6 am, eats breakfast and goes to his favorite spot all day napping
Still no red nasty beetles
My Hydrangea finally got flowers!!!! We cut that apple tree down and it gets morning sun, this is the first time in 8 years it got flowers
And there are more coming still
NY transplant, not sure what this is
Baby's breath?
Very hard to photograph, the flowers are so tiny
Cheap roses from the dollar store
They got some black spot
Walmart had a nice plant called Confettie

Interesting about that Hydrangea...Maureen also has some that is blooming a purplish color. I've only seen white, pink, and blue before. I know that the blue is indicative of acidic soil, is the purple a new variety or a result of acid rain?
Meanwhile my Hydrangea have never bloomed, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed :)
You are getting quite the variety in your garden, you've done such a nice job over there.
As far as blackspot, you can treat it with fungicide but I personally hate to pour toxic chemicals into the same earth from which we get our well water. Otherwise, the roses will hang in there but will look a little less than perfect.
5th pic down: is that bellflower (campanula)?
Your hydrangea is a different color - what a deep shade of purple! I haven't heard of any mention of acid rain for sometime now - I'd forgotten about how much damage it was doing to the forests up in the north.
I see you also use towels or such to protect your furniture from Sir/Madam Kittie's napping places!
My neighbor has a bunch of hydrangea the lighter blue kind and his are blooming like crazy right now. I wonder why all of ours have not done anything? Don't like where we planted them I guess. I heard they like coffee grounds in the soil.
Biddie that is the cats blanket, they both kneed it before they plunk down there for a nap. Every month I take it and throw in the wash, my dryer lint trap ends up full of cat hair after it's dried.
You are right Priscilla, I think that is a form of campanula but maybe a wild version? I see it on the sides of the road
Do you still have critters living under your shed?
Hey...mine is purple too. and it's the first time it's bloomed since I planted it 3 years ago (and it was blue when I planted it) So weird.
Maybe it's a chemical thing; purple is midway between blue and pink.
