Better Late Than Never

 

I love geraniums!

But they were very expensive this spring.  And right before 

July 4th, they were expensive!  Today I found them 

marked 50 % off and I finally have my red, white, and blue

deck...albeit a little late.

Better Late Than Never!

(PS: Valentine candy tastes better on Feb. 15th, too! :-)

Love,

Summer Days!

Wow! It was HOT on Tuesday!  98 degrees in South Carolina.  I
stayed inside and kept cool with air conditioning all day.  Then
when I went to the mailbox, I saw flowers who love summer days!

They were BEAUTIFUL, but I think I will stay inside with the AC
and look at them through the window!  Stay cool and hydrated!
Love,
Lottie

Let's Walk Out to the Garden

This year, our little garden has done great! I think it is because DH
has been totally in charge.  I used to try to plant things, but now I
just pick things and cook them.  It works out better that way!
Here is an update of the garden.

  

The tomatoes by the deck have really gotten tall and are producing

lots of tomatoes for the dinner table.

DH took the seeds from one heirloom, Brandywine, tomato

and planted all these plants.  They are bushier than the rest

and the tomato is a purple color.  Can't wait till these start.

The okra are coming along.

We grew beets this year.  I've never grown beets and don't know
what to do with them, but there is always the internet!

We have a few eggplants, too.

And a few bell pepper plants.  The bugs seem to like them, too!

And the cucumbers are climbing up the string.  I hope we get
lots of cucumbers this year!

Thank you for walking out to the garden with me today.  I love
seeing all my bloggy friend's gardens. Have a great day!
Love,
Lottie
