I need to get out more......
The only place that I'm taking photos is in my own back yard because I just can't find the time to get out and about. Between PT and doctor appointments my days are tied up. I'm hoping after the 4th I will be able at least to get to the Village, Belle Isle and some of the metroparks. I also hope to start crafting again....it's been 3 months.
My garden is very lovely this year so I can't resist taking pics with my phone when I'm out watering. These photos were taken with my camera....first time that I've had it in my hand since SC.

My June Garden
It's only the first week of June and already my garden is looking lovely....so are the weeds...lol. The Silver Lace vine is going crazy and taking over everything. I cut it way back in the fall and I think that spurred on more growth. The two Salvia have been there for years but last summer I started fertilizing them and they are making a comeback. And of course the ever reliable Hostas are beautiful.
This Proven Winners Supertunia is so unusual.....I've forgotten the name of it but it is really pretty....burgundy with a green edge.
Supertunia Bubblegum in the pot and the rose is a thornless climber called Zephirine Drouhin. It only blooms in the spring/early summer for me but it is worth it for the wonderful scent....smells delicious.
Trying a grape tomato this year....hopefully I will get some tomatoes ....last year was a bust.
This is a polka dot plant....it's other name is unpronounceable....lol. I needed some color in this mainly Hosta bed. I have a Hydrangea here and am curious to see how it will do after fertilizing it and cutting it back last summer after it bloomed.
All pink for my back porch this year....Geranium, Bubblegum and a variety of a daisy. In the big pot next to the steps are pink and cream Lantana.

My little herb bucket is doing well......Basil, Rosemary and Oregano.
This is a beautiful Proven Winner Daisy Peaches and Cream that I just planted......Coreopsis behind it and little Zinnia seedlings.

Copper
In my backyard....this is an old copper vat that my brother gave me years ago. I decided to put it to use, filled it with soil and planted Proven Winners Supertunia Bubblegum. That pick really sets off the copper. Can't wait to see what it will look like in July! My Mom had one like this that she used to boil the dirty clothes...the whites. Before the day of detergent this was the best way to get clothes really clean.
Purple Iris
Taken at Brookgreen Gardens...beware of alligators in this little lake....I've seen them sunning themselves on the grass. Iris so beautiful in the spring
