Tank Garden Update


~ an annual I can't remember the name of ~


 ~ the big center plant is fennel with other herbs around it ~


~ vine in back is a weed, but I liked it ~

  
~ Chinese lantern and marigolds ~


 ~ basil with other herbs getting smothered inside ~


~ thumbelina zinnias ~


~ somehow I ended up with quite a bit of orange in the garden and actually like it ~


~ waiting for blooms ~


~ dill planted by lavender??? ~


~ dill is so pretty though ~


~ found this Larro feeder at the farm ~


 ~ filled with a small variety of morning glories ~
please bloom soon


~ black eyed susan vine ~


~ drift wood and zinnias ~  
hoping to get more weeding and more mulch in place yet this summer


 ~ snaps and dianthus ~
not much selection in the garden area here at all :(


~ we have so many trees here and I love to add decaying pieces to the garden ~


~ a malformed or perfectly formed?! blanket flower ~

I took these photos last week and am finally starting to see some more blooms come this week, yay!

I hope you are having a few wonderful summer days!

  1. Oh Jill, the garden is so wonderful! I love all the herbs you have incorporated with the flowers. I love zinnia's....they will bloom way into the fall...a simple old fashioned favorite of mine. Thanks so much for the update...I can see why you go there to unwind and enjoy the peace.

    Moss roses always remind me of my Dad...their seedheads captivate me...yours with that happy wild vine are splendid!

    Nothing 'malformed' about the blanket flower; it's just making a statement about where it's growing!!
