This year I set a goal to garden every day this summer (that I'm home). Just a few minutes at least. Sometimes I do up to thirty. And, I got lucky with one of my flower purchase...Carnival Zinnias. As big as my dahlias. Wow.
I also really really wanted to buy some planters for outside our house. I couldn't find what I wanted. So I did some dreaming and Ben and Derek both helped be build them. Not idea for marital harmony (when Derek's been working so much OT). But they look awesome. I hope they will hold up. I maybe should have done a bit more planning.
Anyway, I just want to sit on the front porch or on the back patio and gaze at the flowers. (So of course then I immediately go out of town to wrestling camp.)

| This is my Rachel wisteria up on the arbor. It bloomed this year for the first time. |
 |
| I planted this front bed for the first time like this. Not getting quite enough sun. But I like it. |
 |
| Is there such a thing as too many hydrangeas? |
 |
| Front porch basket |
 |
| Little flower bed |
 |
| Big side bed. Impatients. And a hydrangea about to really pop up there. |
 |
| This is the crowning jewel triangle. There are two more dahlias behind the purple one about to go. |
 |
| It's all looking so good. |
