Gardening, The Week in Flowers

This Week in Flowers: 2nd Week in August 2022

August 11, 2022      Leave a Comment

The bouquets keep coming and for this I am truly grateful

Zinnias, I do believe I could have acres of them and never grow tired.

And my sunflowers this year have been utterly amazing. Towering over the garden so they are visible from the second floor landing. They are in an assortment of colors and I am going to be diligently working on collecting seed (and savings many for the birds) so I can grow them again next year.

This bouquet is in the foyer so it greets you when you walk in the door.

Not flowers I know but I had to share my pumpkins. I have been on a mission for years to grow our pumpkins for Halloween. I have been successful with one maybe a year but this year? Oh this year I have counted 5 pumpkins! 3 are huge, one is mid size and one is itty bitty yet. This one looks ready to harvest and I just had to snap a photo to share. They are growing outside of the fencing so I am keeping an eye out for nibblers.

Another large pumpkin that still has some ripening up to do

Another large one looking very orange and full of fall spirit.

This is a smaller one but I am excited to see how it goes. My goal was a pumpkin for each member of the family and if the baby one I didn’t photograph grows up a bit I will have reached my goal.

Wishing you sun tea in the garden.

Until next time…
