Everyday Living

A Cloudy Evening In The Garden

~ Gardening, Outdoors

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭

Happy Thursday lovely friends!  Can you believe that May is almost gone? Have you made your plans for the Memorial Day Weekend?  We always stay home and Butch is the grill-master whipping up hamburgers and hot dogs!  I contribute the sides and home-made ice cream!

We have had lots of clouds with little sunshine for several days and very little rain at our house!  With camera in hand, I decided to spend a cloudy evening in the garden on Tuesday!  I would love for you to join me, and be sure to scroll down to the bottom for a fun announcement!

  My garden  is very late this year.  Normally, there would be flowers in bloom.  We had an extremely late freeze that has delayed growth and blooms.

  The weather did not impact the Adagio Maiden Grasses (behind the table)…

…Renaissance Man cut them way back during late winter and they seem to be thriving!

  Sunshine Ligustrums are in the foreground with Limelight Hydrangeas behind.  I love the different shades of green and textures!

  This is the first day lily to bloom, they normally begin blooming the first of May…

  …it is named Bold Awakening!

  Thyme continues blooming and it is one of my  favorite herbs for cooking!

  I am loving the Indigo Frost Agapanthus…

  …two are blooming…

  The bronze statue (actually a fountain) is the centerpiece of the garden.  

  Knock-out roses have really shown out this spring, now they are a little spent but no worries, they have continuous blooms!  

  The vine growing on the fence behind the workshop was supposed to be a grapevine.  It comes back every spring, but we have no clue what it might be.

Thank you for spending a little time with me in the garden.  I love your visits and comments, they make my day!

 
 I am excited to once again host the Gardens Galore Link-Up Party!  Last year we had so much fun, and I cannot wait to see what you all will share again this year! The party will run every three weeks beginning on Monday, June 4 at 7 a.m. central daylight savings time. Please link only gardening posts or subjects relating to gardening. You may link posts from previous years. I can’t wait to party in the garden with you all!

  2. Love your garden, Pam! The Maiden grasses, Rosemary, unknown vine, Thyme, Bold Awakening, stones and statues are so pretty. I would want to spend a lot of time out in your garden. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Hope you have some sunshine!

  5. Always such a treat to see your beautiful garden, Pam. It is amazing to see how much further along your garden is compared to ours. Our day lilies do not usually bloom until late June or the first part of July.

    Happy Memorial Weekend to you and yours!

  7. Looks like everything is thriving! I really love the mystery vine…because it IS a mystery. We have a trumpet honeysuckle in full bloom now, and the hummingbirds are going crazy. That is really a great vine to plant with its long red, tubular flowers. We’ve been getting so much rain I can’t even get the grass mowed. But, my oh my, everything is lush and green!

    • I used to have a trumpet vine, I love the red tubular flowers. We still haven’t had much rain, but that will change next week with the system in the gulf. Happy Memorial Day!

  13. I agree with with Joy. You should have a walking tour of your garden, especially whn the sunflowers are in bloom?

  14. Gorgeous Pam! I always enjoy taking a stroll/scroll 😉 in your garden! We’ve had a very wet spring with more in the forecast this weekend. I wish I could send some your way. I’m thrilled to hear Gardens Galore is returning. I’ll have to get to work! I was enjoying some cloud cover this morning while deadheading. Happy Memorial Day Weekend ♥

  17. Wow, your garden is coming to life! We got a bill today from Maine that makes me hope some preliminary work has been done on ours. I can’t wait to play in the dirt. Have a very good weekend.

  19. I always love a visit to your beautiful garden. Even though there is not a lot of blooming going on yet, that gorgeous lily is a hint of what is to come. I really can’t wait to get my back yard finished, but alas, it will have to wait until after the addition and the pool. No sense planting things only to see them torn out!

  20. Wow! I wish I could “borrow” you for awhile to help with some much needed landscaping here at my humble abode. We’re doing a little and I mean ‘little’ at a time. We so neglected this part of our home but are now getting serious but what work to start from scratch and not knowing exactly how to go about it but maybe in time… We’ve lived here 30 plus years and are making a slow go go it. Your garden is gorgeous!!

  21. I sure can tell you and hubby have spent endless hours perfecting your gardens. They are just beautiful. Can’t wait to see it as we progress through the summer season and into fall. Gorgeous.

  23. Pam, I am always full of envy looking at your gorgeous garden. Whether cloudy or sunny, it’s always spectacular. The grasses are quite impressive. love seeing the fountains and benches.

  24. Wow it’s always a treat to see your gardens. That adagio maiden grass is amazing- so large too! How appropriately named is that lily since it’s your first bloom! I wish I could grow agapanthus up here- it’s such a fun flower. Looking forward to your garden party- thanks for joining ours! Have a great holiday weekend!

  25. Bold Awakening is WELL NAMED! Woo hoo — that’s glorious. Someone just gave me an agapanthus. I need to look up how to care for it. She said up here we need to take them in during the winter. Seems like one of those creatures you’d read about in a children’s book. And thyme is my favorite too.
