Project 366 Weeks 23 & 24

This month seemed to go by so fast!  June is always full of outdoor activities and relaxing getaways.  I try my best to balance everything while making sure I get important things done.  I squeeze in a few days spent laying in the hammock with my head in the clouds.  My gardens are buzzing with new life and activity.  I'm excited to see my calla lilies and roses beginning to bloom.  The young Carolina wrens living in my birdhouse grew up quickly and all successfully left the nest.  I'm so happy I was able to enjoy watching their first few days of life from my garden!  I've had both giant garlic and pea harvests this June.  It's nice to throw some fresh ingredients into lunch and dinner again.  Come see what I've been up too this summer!

Come see what's been growing in my garden this June here

Are you starting to get some good harvests from your garden?  My cherry tomato plants are full of tiny green fruit and my pepper plants are full of white blooms.  I can't wait to see them ripen!  I planted some Golden Marguerite daisies two years ago near my strawberry patch. When I purchased them, they were two little plants.  I had no idea they were such vigorous growers.  Now my patch is full of hundreds of beautiful yellow blooms!  I'm absolutely amazed at their growth rate.  It's stunning to look out the window and see them all filling my garden with cheerful, three foot tall plants! I am also enjoying my first season of hollyhock flowers.  I'm hoping they will make another appearance next year!  Some people have that experience with them, so we will see.  Feel free to update me on your summer activities in the comment section below, or tweet me @thefreckledrose.  Wishing you a happy holiday weekend and a fun filled 4th of July!
