Hello Friends, the garden changes daily. I will probably be a week behind in showing you the changes here on the blog. The garden keeps me busy, but I love it and would not want it any other way. Today I am sharing some photos of our garden in early June.
Be on the look out for a green garden friend in the below photo.
Did you find him?
We feed the orioles oranges, that is why you see oranges hanging on a bird-feeder.
I will be excited to share this pot with you as it fills out. I am excited for the combination I planted in this pot. Yes, you spy maple seeds in the pot. We had HUNDREDS of maple seeds fall this season. Since this photo was taken, this pot has been cleaned of maple seeds. We had buckets and buckets of the maple seeds. My aunt Sharon shared with me it happens every three years or so, the maples go crazy producing their seeds.
Note... clean the rain gutters of all the maple seeds.
If I could have .05 cents for each maple seed, I just might be rich.
I seek quiet joys.
John Clare
Enjoy your week my dear friends.

Good Morning Carla. Your early garden is beautiful already. Your little flower shack should be giving joy to customers with the early bouquets. I did see little green guy enjoying the garden too. Happy New Week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteYour early June garden is beautiful! I especially love the pansies. It is already too hot for pansies in Alabama. Mr. Froggy's camouflage is working! I see him, but he really blends well!
ReplyDeleteReally great pictures of your garden! I see the froggy- what a great camouflage. I have two pots with cucumber plants growing in them and I think of you and your advice every time I see them :). Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Carla, The beautiful flowers are stunning around your place...Love the richness of color in each of these photos. Your hard work in the garden area is sure paying off...have a good day and enjoy all the beauty around you.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is coming along nicely, Garden. So many lovely flowers. Yes, I see the green fellow.! He blends in so well with the plants. I like that blue fountain that's in the garden. That quote you shared is special. And those purple flowers! Beautiful, and my favorite color. ; )
ReplyDeleteHave a happy June week, Carla. It surprises me that it's already mid June.

The flowers are so beautiful and I love the little garden friend. Wow, that's a lot of maple seeds. Yes, the gutters must really fill up. Sorry for all the clean-up you have to do.
ReplyDeleteOh your little garden friend is a cutie! Our frogs in our yard are brown but I still love them. They eat the bugs!! Everything looks so beautiful and calming to the eyes. I don’t have maple seeds but we get these itchy balls from the sweet gum trees that drives my husband crazy and every year he threatens to cut them down - he won’t. On Thursday we filled one and a half city containers full of those balls.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week in your garden - I’ll be doing that as well. 🌺
Everything looks so beautiful!!! The frog is adorable and I also love the quote at the end of your post.
ReplyDeleteSo many beauties.. and the frog is quite the find.
ReplyDeleteThose iris are gorgeous!! And I love the pansies. I didn't know this about maple seeds.
ReplyDeleteLove the irises. In my old garden I had purple irises with the same color peony as you do. Cute frog too! Janice
ReplyDeleteCarla, you have a magic touch in the garden. Look at all that gorgeous color...you even have the prettiest, most color coordinated frog I've ever seen. How did you manage that? Must be your green thumb!! (heehee!!) xo
ReplyDeleteCute frog, and your front round garden is gorgeous! Yes, this is a special time in the garden, but busy as you say. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I love the little green guy on the leaf. We get lots of maple seeds too. Uggh!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely catching up with you, Carla, and reading your latest posts. I enjoyed seeing pictures of your flowers and you and your family. I love Gouda cheese, too! I made a tomato tart the other day and used Fontina in the recipe. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. ❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden you have. And yes, I saw the little frog. I would never have expected to see one on a leaf. It must have been real tiny.
ReplyDeleteI found your little friend.....and your peonies are so pretty! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these lovely photographs of your beautiful garden ... and yes, I did see little green visitor enjoying the garden too.
ReplyDeleteSending good wishes across the miles.
All the best Jan
