What’s been happening in my garden at the end of June ? Not much really as we still have no real Summer weather, most days of the last 2 weeks were cold and rainy and windy but the forecast for the near future is a lot better so shall we finally get Summer over here in froggyland ? I’ll let you know, ok ?!
My garden is full of frogs, I really have to watch where I step when I am removing weeds or plant a plant cos I don’t want to step on one, some are tiny others are quite big but we have the quiet ones, the brown frog, he only says prrrrrr prrrrr ….The slugs are having a ball too, they are everywhere, luckily we have a thrush with a nest full of babies and I see broken slug shell’s everywhere.
MY FIRST DAHLIA FLOWER OF THE YEAR, A YELLOW ONE CALLED YELLOW STAR, IT’S IN A BLUE POT SO I LIKE THIS COMBINATION, IT HAS A LOT OF BUDS SO I AM HOPEFULL, ALL IT NEEDS IS A COUPLE OF WARM DAYS
A SOFT YELLOW DAYLILLY COMBINED WITH GERANIUM ANN THOMSON
MY GOATSBEARD (ARUNCUS) IN FULL BLOOM
MY FIG TREE IS STILL NOT COMPLETELY RECOVERED FROM WINTER BUT IT LOOKS OK AND THE FIGS ARE REALLY BIG THIS YEAR
THIS IS A CLOSE UP OF ONE OF MY AEONIUMS WHO IS DOING VERY WELL DESPITE ALL THE RAIN AND COLD IT HAD SO FAR
AND THIS IS MY DARLING GRANDDAUGHTER (3) WHO LOVES TO WATER EVERYTHING IN THE GARDEN AND IN THE HOUSE, I HAD TO SAVE MANY CACTI AND SUCCULENTS FROM DRAWNING ! BUT I LOVE TO TEACH HER ALL ABOUT GARDENING AND WILDLIFE, I LOVE HER TO BITS !!!
I really like that Dahlia and the Daylilies. My daylillies are orange!
I am very fond of frogs, you could send some my way. Your granddaughter is adorable!
If I could I would but I’m afraid that is not possible, besides it’s also illegal ! We have a pond in our garden and the frogs who are born there always return to the place of their birth, at least that is what the brown frog does, he really is a pretty frog, not colurful but with a nice pattern on his back and belly, I don’t know why they call him brown frog as he is dark green with black and cream, I hope to get one on camera one of these days so I can show him in my blog. And yes, my granddaughter is adorable !lol !
We had sun this afternoon and I saw one squash blossom.
one of my cucumbers has its first flower !!! thank God for small mercy’s he !
