Compared to last year my garden is really behind in showing color this year. The bed in front of the house only has one rose and the annuals are not blooming yet. The pillar pots are filled out as well as the two by the front door. I can't believe how big the snow princess alyssum gets in the pillar pots as this is my first year trying it.
Next up is the rose garden and they are really putting on a show right now. The white fuzz on the edges of all my beds is cotton from the cottonwood trees which comes down like snow every day. August will be spent pulling out seedlings.
The large clematis is rooguchi and she is really putting on a show right now.
The side of the garage is slowing coming to life except for the Betty Corning clematis. She's already outgrown one trellis.
Next up is the barn garden and on the way to barn we see some of my recent yard projects. I gave these benches a fresh coat of paint.
All the recent transplants around the barn have gotten off to a good start and I have lots of other little things to add over there soon.
Leaving the barn and heading to the backyard the first thing we see is Pine Hollow which has grown a little this year.
There are new spots for the fairies to sit and rest and the inside of the cottages are also furnished.
The hummingbird garden is starting to fill out...
and the patio pots are a welcome spots of color.
The garden has a few weeks to go before it will be filled with color as things are just starting to blossom.
The path to the cabin...
and the path to the back arbor.
The pot in the mid garden...
and the clematis arbor is really looking great.
Keeping it real by leaving my watering hose laying out in the west part of the garden. The red sweet william just makes me smile.
I hope this picture heavy tour made you smile and I look forward to showing it to you when more things are blooming. Have a wonderful holiday weekend all!

I REALLY enjoyed the "picture heavy tour"! And your colorful July banner, too. I particularly enjoyed the barn plantings, path, and "accessories" this time.
I'm itching (literally) to get back out into the beds next week. I got poison ivy about a week ago and have been so miserable I've mostly sat out a beautiful week of weather.
Trying to decide best approach to getting rid of the p.i. that I now know to be thick in one of the beds.
Marsha, how do you keep up with all of this. Everything is so pretty and manicured.
Beautiful as always, Marsha. Wish you and your family a Happy 4th! Enjoy the weekend.
Your place always looks so well kept and beautiful.Thanks for the tour.
What beautiful yards you have...it must entail lots of work. I love your little pond.
My garden is way ahead of what it usually is this time of year. The lavender is gone by, which makes me sad.
Marsha ~~ thank you so much for your words of encouragement this morning. It was just the word I needed this morning.
Needless to say, I haven't commented for a while, trying to keep my life and blogging in balance. I have you on my readers list now, and can follow you from my dashboard.
Your pictures beyond words. After reading my post today, you know how I feel about the birds.... Love them so very much.
Have a great day, and I'll be back soon.
Love and Hugs
Wanda
