In the garden.. August 8,2016

Good morning!
 I hope you all had great weekends!
Time for another walk through the garden ..
My hydrangeas are still blooming and I love that there are so many different colors on each plant!

Coneflowers are still looking good even though it has been so hot and dry here. We did have rain last week finally!

The Rose of Sharon is huge!

I am loving this pot of zinnias and snapdragons..

The top sunflower has an identity crisis going on .. its got just a few striped petals..

Limelight hydrangea, annabelle hydranges and lots of coneflowers and zinnias!

The chipmunk hunter..

Vanilla /Strawberry hydrangeas starting to get a little strawberried.. aren't they just the prettiest!

the prettiest zinnia in the patch..

The mailbox garden..

That is one stalk of sunflowers.. so many blooms!

The first roasted tomato sauce from the garden ..

I had to move the vintage wheelbarrow out from behind the zinnias because they got too tall!

Always love to pick the zinnias

In the Garden August 16

Good morning !
Here are my favorite photos from my garden this week !
Coneflowers are the best perenials ever ! They multiply and give you several months of blooms!

The hydrangeas in the backyard are still a little white on top ..

Russian sage , black eyed susans and coneflowers..Love Russian sage too ..it gives such a pretty look to your garden

made my first for this year Roasted tomato sauce from the garden ..if you have alot of tomatoes click on that link and make it! The smell while they are roasting is incredible!

Come on in! The DIY sunflower wreath is on the door..

This morning in the zinnias..

On the back patio ..The basket is a roadside rescue that I planted with mini pansies, alysum ,mini petunias and a couple other lavender plants. Love the little orange faces :) I have 4 wire baskets hanging on the fence back here and they are looking good!

Love this zinnia patch ! So much color!

The sunflowers are still going strong! I read that if you deadhead the multi branching ones they keep on blooming ..so I hope that is right!

Look at this amzing sunflower!
