You wrote you have no tomatoes because of not having bees. Did you know you can pollinate them by your own by using a soft brush and swish over the blossoms?! It works ♥ Conny <a href="URL" rel="nofollow"> http://piaromsartjournaling.blogspot.de</a>PiaRomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102446458057514540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-56381191155231457392017-08-06T17:14:09.650-05:002017-08-06T17:14:09.650-05:00I really enjoyed your post and am so pleased I vis...I really enjoyed your post and am so pleased I visited you today.<br />I thought your early August herb garden looked good, so too your flower bed, and I especially liked the table it has a good look about it.<br /><br />I hope the coming new week will be a good one for you.<br />My good wishes<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-31333383226903432862017-08-06T15:50:21.158-05:002017-08-06T15:50:21.158-05:00More lovely photos of you wonderful garden.

The herbs look so healthy, they taste so much better freshly picked from you own garden.<br />The flowers looked beautiful as well, I love the lily flowers. <br />I hope you enjoyed crafting in your garden a super setting to sit and ponder what you will make.<br />I do like your table, over here the folk seem to love old and distressed metal tables in the garden. <br />A lovely photo of Bleubeard as well.<br />Yvonne xxMeggymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523023041456397683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-82163220129326692972017-08-06T12:06:35.444-05:002017-08-06T12:06:35.444-05:00Lovin' the garden posts.

I hope you get blackberries next year. They can't be beat :)<br /><br />I'd be tempted to expand the flower beds into that pesky lawn ;) Mowing is something I just never took to ;)<br /><br />Surprise Lilies! I don't have any, but Mother used to and they are such a delight when they shoot up. I do enjoy seeing what you've planted. Every year I try to do a little something more in my space, and it's helpful to see what other folks have done.

They say it was quite bad, and the photos over in Kansas City, Missouri looked terrible. We didn't finish putting up the fence in our front yard yesterday but the brush is about 99% cleared out. By 4 PM we were exhausted and the rain was really coming down so called it quits. But half the fence is up and the dogs have been checking it out. I love seeing your gardens and yard. I can tell by the plants it been hot because they have that later in the summer look. Green and growing well. Looks like the gardens have been keeping you busy and to me that is always an enjoyable thing, as long as you can live with the fact that weeds grow back pretty quick. Nice seeing these photos. :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

That plant...I enjoyed the walk through your garden. That plant doesn't look like a Hollyhock to me. Hollyhock leaves, at least the variety I have, have a shape like a grape leaf. Will be interesting to see if it flowers. I had to laugh at your comment about the weeds poking through your cardboard barrier. When Matt delivered the stone for my Zensical garden, he put down garden mesh as a weed barrier. I thought the barrier would keep the stone pristine. It's amazing the weeds push through the fabric hale and hardy. Give Bleubeard and extra cuddle from me, and Squiggles, too, when he emerges from his hidey hole.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-77473967605565330652017-08-06T07:28:59.900-05:002017-08-06T07:28:59.900-05:00Some lovely flowers and lots of herbs in your gard...Some lovely flowers and lots of herbs in your garden.<br />A friend gave me hollyhoks that I planted in my front garden, but I think it got too hot for them at some stage as they have disappeared.Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-8665428128403306162017-08-06T04:35:56.368-05:002017-08-06T04:35:56.368-05:00Thanks for showing around your home.

Too windy here to do that.The flowers look like foxgloves to me though they are late flowering as mine finished about a month ago. Some may call them weeds but I would never let mine go I just love them.<br /><br />Have a great day<br /><br />Love Chrissie xxchrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841948513176294307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-80015274496722454712017-08-06T00:23:21.839-05:002017-08-06T00:23:21.839-05:00Your garden is looking good.

The hibiscus and lilies are gorgeous, but those leaves don't look like hollyhocks, at least not like the ones we have here. I think they could be night candles. Bleubeard is lovely, as always, give him - and Squiggles - my best regards. Have a fun day, hugs, ValerieValerie-Jaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538850820168903865noreply@blogger.com
