Life in the Garden – Part III

Our garden and flower beds this year are simply amazing.  Will works very hard to keep the weeds out and everything properly watered, fertilized and happy. He has a way with growing things.  I just love to go with my camera and take pictures of all the different flowers.

Taken in May – you can see all the little buds, just beginning to open:

Here are the same flowers in June:

I love that there are so many different colors – from deep purple to pure white. Jacob and I think they look like fireworks.

Our strawberry plant had ONE berry:

Shortly after this picture was taken the berry got too wet and had white mold all over it and so no one got to eat it. So sad!  The plant is still doing fine, but so far no more blossoms.

In May – cherry tomatoes

Blossoms that will become tomatoes (I hope)

I can’t show you the cherry  tomatoes because they are in our bellies!

The other day I was checking on things and spotted this spider setting up shop in my rosemary. He is a black and white zebra striped spider and his web runs in a horizontal zig zag (for scale – the web was about the size of a quarter)  I’ve never seen anything like it before. Truthfully he was kind of creepy and I was glad he was gone the next day. Thank you for keeping out bugs creepy guy!
