A journey around the backyard… the day before vacation.

 We are going on a 2 week vacation during which it’s going to be VERY hot and during which my son has promised to supply a goodly amount of water all over the backyard. 

 I thought that a picture journal might help me remember what it looked like now.  I do trust him to water but the extreme heat might be too much. 

So here I go… starting with a right turn upon leaving the house.


Pots of flowers and hosta.


Along the back wall of the house. These day lilies are always early to bloom!

This day lily is quite spectacular but I will miss it.

On the west side of the house leading to the gate.  These are smaller than they should be. More water needed.

Parsley has been eaten… liquid fence needed. The only thing that would eat these are rabbits!



Gift from the kids!


Back bed west of the gazebo



Some very nice variegated varieties.

One of my favorites- lakeside paisley 



I planted a few extra annuals this year.

Penstemon.
