I found myself puttering in the garden today after taking Otis and Riley for a walk. It was a beautiful day and after all the rain we had yesterday, there were plenty of weeds to be pulled.
I have an abundance of black-eyed-susans coming up and they're spreading everywhere. They will brighten up the garden later in the summer.
The purple verbena is spreading nicely.
The violets are spreading too, in fact I pulled a bunch up, otherwise they'd take over the whole garden!
The rose campion looks so pretty next to the rosemary.
I planted some flowers in pots ~ this is a New Guinea Impatien,
and a few more pink geraniums.
and a few more pink geraniums.
Notice the pretty white blooms on the nandina bush.
And...look who came to visit!
My little friend, the hummer.

I love hummingbirds and flowers and gardens. You tickled me this afternoon. I just came in from weeding the garden. Your weather is way ahead of ours, but it is getting there. Thanks for sharing these awesome pics. I read some of your bio, and we have so much in common. I think if you would have just put Spitfire Grill in the movie section, we would have been a perfect match in that area. Bye Donna.
Your garden is looking wonderful Donna! I love black eyed susans..

Hi Donna, Your garden just looks gorgeous!... & I love your opening photo!! After spending the last two days "summerizing" a client's home, I feel the garden tugging at me!! Hopefully will be able to spend the weekend outside!... if I get it looking as nice as yours, I may even post a few pictures! Enjoy the next few days!....Heidi :)
Everything looks beautiful, and a girl just can't have too many pink geraniums.
Your garden is just lovely! I love the lushness of it. I can't wait to be able to divide and spread around all my new perennials! I must start dreaming up my next sign! :-) Rosie
Donna, your garden is looking beautiful. Isn't it the truth, weeds seem to come up right away. Funny, seems to be the first thing to grow in every year....weeds!! I love Black Eyed Susans, I have a bunch of them myself, alone with Cone Flowers, they are easy care and such a pleasure. Enjoy your lovely garden.
Your garden is beautiful! I do a lot of blog surfing for inspiration for my photography. I wish I had any knack for gardening though... I can't even seem to keep house plants alive.
Ahhh...a Hummingbird!!! Already? Wow! I love all your pictures...beautiful yard!! Happy weekend Girl!hughugs
Hi Donna, I always enjoy garden tours. You were talking about plants taking over. Last year I transplanted some hosta and just one little slip of vinca was caught up in the hosta. Wow! That vinca must have loved where I planted it because it's spreading like wildfire and has the biggest healthiest leaves. I had to trim it back yesterday evening. Hope you are having a fabulous day. ~ Lynn
Donna, I love your rose bud paintings below...they came out just beautiful. Is this a new banner?? How did I miss it, it is awesome, I just love it.
Your garden looks wonderful Donna. I bet those black-eyed Susan's are spectacular when in bloom. You have inspired me to take a ride to the nursery to pick up some plants and potting soil to do my planters. Oh, and your little friend the hummingbird is just so lovely.
