July Garden Views

~ Flowers, Gardening, Summer

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭8‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Hydrangea Paniculata are the stars of the July garden! Their name comes from the fact that their blooms are cone-shaped rather than ball-shaped and grow on new wood. Vanilla strawberry hydrangeas have been our best performers of all of our panicled hydrangeas.READ MORE

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭118‬:‭29‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I finished watering a little before dark Thursday, and while putting things away and locking up the workshop, I heard thunder. That hasn’t meant anything lately except noise, but this was different. We did get just over one half inch of rain and for that we were thankful. It’s amazing how quickly a little rain rejuvenates and brings a fresh look to everything! More was predicted too.READ MORE
