This time of year, that is. Our spring/summer garden is in full swing. Unlike my fall/winter garden, flowers are a GOOD thing in the summer because their appearance means the production of the much anticipated vegies (or I guess technically they are fruits since they contain seeds).
Strawberry blossoms, underneath their netting..
Cucumber blossoms:
Lavender green bean blossoms:
The potatoes are blooming!
Summer squash blossoms:
Tomato plants flowering:
Pepper blossoms proliferating:
Marvelous marigolds (volunteers!)
And two flowers that LOVE the summer heat:
Lantana and
Verbena
I have to have
something to keep me happy when it's 110 in the shade!

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!
how pretty! I luv the flowers too, although I'm not sure they help me much with the temp's!
Oh, and those flowers are even prettier when they are the beginnings of food! You are a very good nurturer . . . of gardens AND children AND Relief Society Sisters!
BEAUTIFUL! How exciting to see your garden growing so well. All that hard work starting to pay off!
Whew- I thought it was hot here (in the 90s) but you've got us beat. Love your flowers and flowering things.
I love budding flowers, epecially in the garden when they are going to turn into food.
I want your garden, but I don't want to do all the work.
What a clever thing to blog! I love flowers...they are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
