Jo Ann I Love the Color Echos!

Tee good news on the Jewel Weed..... we have the orange here.
Too early to tell on Jack's Giant.
You'll know by September.... if it's taller than you....lol!
LOVE the Lime Aide..... trade?

Janice LOVELY Shots!

Songsof joy.
Those spotted plants are strap caladiums Miss Muffet.

Ric, the tea dispensers are a great idea for containers!

Jo Ann, those Miss Muffet caladiums are spectacular!!

Thanks, Janice, I'll check that out.

Sounds good, Ric. We're having visitors this weekend but I'll Tree Mail next week.

As Neal, I think knows, we spent 23 years in Restaurant Supply.
At one point we supplied ALL the KFC Corp stores in the US.
Lots of damaged items came thru. We sucked up a bunch of them....lol!
Pots, pans, Dispensers, Bar Stools, etc... all found a home here.
You will see them everywhere in our Garden.

Hope everyone is staying hydrated! We were at 99° here today.
It's the 12th day this month at or above 90°.... 6 of those 12 are the last 6 days.

We are lucky in that we have been getting some of those pop up T-Storms.
But still watering a bunch.
We have saucers or pans under all our containers so it makes it a bit easier on them.

Yes, sweltering heat here too. Dangerously hot. Some of the city got 3/4 inch of rain in a storm yesterday but we only got a smattering. Just enough to make it steamy. So out to water I go this morning.

I got a good chuckle when I looked at the results of this shot. Even a garbage can looks good when seen through a garden! :lol:

LOL

Thanks Janice!
We love working w/ found objects.
I have raised baby racoons before but the are wild critters and not suitable as pets.
Get REALLY mean as they mature.

Gladiolus Smile

What a great name! Sure made me smile, as did all the gorgeous plants & flowers on this thread!

Wow, your cottage gardens are flowing over. They are all so full and lush. Been hard to do much here with the drought and the terrible heat. Here is our cottage sun garden with a stone path going through. Steve made the arbor for me last year.
