First is the front yard. Last year we had a friend landscape the front and we put in blueberry, current and gooseberry bushes, along with several echinacea. Everything has grown very well in the last one and half season. The echinacea is blooming and teaming with bees, and the blueberries are loaded with growing fruit.
On the side of they house we have a hollyhock that we put in last year and over wintered. It is nearly 6 feet tall already and has an open bloom. In the background are blooming day lilies.
The vegetable garden in the back is thriving with the recent hot and humid weather. We have been harvesting spinach, broccoli, mustard greens, snow peas and picking herbs including fennel, basil, oregano, tarragon, sorrel, mint and rosemary.
The peas have grown very well, reaching nearly 4 feet tall. I expect with the hot weather they might start withering as they usually do.
We look forward to peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, beans and eggplant in the upcoming months.
You might also notice some of the invaders that include several sunflower plants. I decided to leave them grow and will be happy when they start to flower in a few weeks.
