Thursday in the Garden

Today we will answer the question...what are the boys looking at out the front window...
This flower pot arrangement sits by the front door. We got the idea while on vacation in Nisswa, Minnesota.
These pretty flowers are in the front beds too...not sure what they are called, but I love their color.
We have many gerber daisy plants as well...here's one of our favorites when it is blooming.
This is what our gerbers look like at the moment though...we are in need of some rain, so no blooms right now...
These pretty white and pink flowers are also in the bed out front...they look so dainty compared to the larger gerbers.
Here is one of the knock-out rose bushes flanking the garage. This thing blooms almost all summer and is usually more full of blooms that it is right now. The lack of rain is having an impact on all flowers this year.
This little guys sits on the front porch near the door too...

There you have it...we also have some mums that are starting to bloom, but I'll save them for another post...when they are more full of blooms this fall.


For other great gardens...pop over to The Feline Society of Gardeners and read the blogs there.

  2. We love all your flowers but we think that the stacked pots and the kitty pot are our favorites! We may need to steal that idea!

  6. We returned to answer a question you left on our blog: If we had a second story on our house we would be able to see the ocean from there. We are about five blocks up from Monterey Bay. It's beautiful! Being this close to the ocean definitely impacts the weather. Usually it means a nice moderate temperature, with fog in the morning during the Summer months.

  11. We too want to know the secret of the flower pots! That would be great for an herb garden in a tight spot.

  12. Our mom has flower pots that stack like that too!! She didn't put it out this year, though. Mom says our flowers aren't doing real good this year either...no rain, too hot...everything is looking kinda punky right now...

  13. What gorgeous flowers you have in your garden, and I love all your garden pots and ornaments, too! It was very clever of you to stack those pots like that!

    You kitties should be proud of your mama for being so creative.

    Oh and Devon's on the LOLSpot today.
