Veggie Beds in July

We are now harvesting Tomatoes regularly as long as the squirrels don't get to them first. ugggh. They are beautiful and yummy!

Here are some pictures of things I've seen in my garden the last few days...

Here are some photos I have taken around my garden the last couple of days. I have so many more pictures from this season to post and so many things to write about... but I can't stay out of the garden long enough to post them. Anyway... here's a little snapshot of things...

This is a container garden that I planted Friday. It is full of different foliage and textures. I love the color echoes of blues and bronzes. Mixing succulents such as the Kalanchoe with drought adaptable annuals and perennials also makes beautiful, easy and low maintenance containers. I love to pack them full and then watch them grow!

Succulents!!! They are so much fun! I made it my mission this year to teach everyone I could that succulents and xeriscaping - does not HAVE to mean planting to look like the Arizona desert! Succulents are beautiful and can fit in any design style. Check out the Mantle I planted at the garden center..
