I haven’t been spending much time in our gardens lately because this week was so hot (90s) and humid around here. I tend to hibernate when the temperatures get above 85 degrees.
Our weekend weather could give us a little relief, so I decided to take a walk through our gardens this morning.
The shasta daisy flower bed has grown like a weed in the past month. These things are almost up to my shoulders.
Our coneflower garden is always wild and slightly overgrown.
But they are all so pretty!
Plants in the whiskey barrel usually do well too.
These yellow daisies must be some of the easiest flowers to grow. Lots of color with little effort (just need to do some dead-heading).
We are lucky to get a couple lilies this year since the rabbits usually start eating them as soon as they poke through the ground in late spring. In the four years we’ve lived in our house, I don’t think I’ve ever seen these lilies get this tall and bloom.
The vegetable garden is finally taking hold and starting to look healthy.
We planted several raspberry bushes, thinking they would produce fruit in a couple years. But I found some raspberries in the making already!
Finally, I would like to leave you with a beautiful shot of our clematis climbing up it’s trellis.
Thank you for taking a walk with me through our June garden. Enjoy a beautiful day!

Wow! Your garden is so pretty!
My shasta daisies should be flowering any day now.
I love your coneflower garden.
Your garden is wonderful! I love all the daisies and coneflowers, beautiful colors!
Yea for raspberries, my favorite! Enjoy!
Wow the flowers are beautiful. I definitely agree with you on the heat. I have been hibernating all week because it’s been in the 90s or raining over here.
The only plus is that I don’t feel guilty for sewing for hours. 🙂
Your garden is so pretty – I love daisies – they are so fresh and pretty!
Looking at your flowers makes me miss my home in the north. I had to learn how to plant all over again here in the southwest. Raspberries are my favorite berry, yummy. I may have to find a variety that grows here. Thanks for sharing your garden with us.
Too many talents for one woman!!!!! I love all your flowers!!!
Looks great! I planted two raspberry bushes as well, but I don’t have a thing yet!
Your gardens are gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing…they are a wonderful treat compared to the desert…and it’s going to be over 110 today…it just feels cooler looking at your yard!
