Crazy June Weather

This month has been the craziest June I have seen in the past 4 years!!  Hail, high winds, tons of rain hae reaked havoc on the garden.  Luckily, most of the plants have survived.  I did loose one of my favorite ceramic pots.  I bought it in Phoenix when I was visiting Erin a few years ago.  It fell over and broke.

On the positive side, the zinnia seeds are growing great - will post a pic once they are in full bloom.  they do need alot of water and they like some shade when it gets over 90 degrees. Overall, very easy to grow from seed.  The cucmbers are starting to come in and so are the peppers.

Will keep posting - have a great day!

Adding the Annuals

I always like to add annuals to the mix.  They fill in really nicely as the season progresses and gives intant color to the pots.  Whats nice about them is that you can add the plants to your garden in the fall and next year you will have them to add to your pots or garden.
