Summer is going by way to fast....I want it to slow down but it refuses to do this. The flowers in my garden are starting to bloom and the biggest show is from the back of the garden where you find the Shasta Daisies.
The Daisies don't seem to care that it has been over 100 degrees for weeks and that there is very little water being supplied to them due to the drought. They never wilt or look sad...They must not need lots of water and don't seem to mind that they are planted in hard clay soil...They are happy to bloom in masses for me.
They are home to a few spiders and other strange bugs that dwell in my garden. Do you see the bug in the middle of this flower? I'm not sure what it is..What I love about Daisies is you can ignore them and they grow fine and then you just enjoy all the flowers. They come back every year too. I'll be sad in a few weeks when I'm deadheading them.
I also have a few Zinnia's blooming....They have struggled with the heat and lack of water....And the cat who likes to use my garden as a litter box. The question I get the most is "Do you really think forks will grow?" I have told some people that I have read that if you plant forks they will grow roots and bloom...It's a known fact that plastic forks have the ability to grow....For a minute I think the person believed me...Then I have to talk about cats and keeping them out....Oh well that makes more sense than growing forks....
My back yard garden is Petunias and hopefully Cosmos.....Just hoping they can survive the heat and lack of daily watering. My lawn well that is not surviving that well...But most peoples lawns are suffering this year so I'm not too worried. I'm reading a book on the 7 Spiritual laws of Success and one is spending time in nature....So it is off to the garden I go.
Have a great week!
