July 20

The geraniums just did not flourish.  I talked to Paula Bailey and to  Cathy Sparks and they both change their soil . Paula gets miracle gro potting soil from costco, many bags of it.

I really loved that basket I got at King Soopers with the dusty miller and the coleus.  These impatiens have done well but somehow I killed a hanging basket

What to do with the terrible soil in the front.  poor petunias

These pots have done okay.

Yep, I took out the volunteer zucchini. It was not bearing fruit

Tom picked up some veg plants like this tomato plant that must have had hail damage.  

cucumbers were have had light green leaves, not good

Next year I am putting in new soil and no plastic things to take up space.

Grace loved this garden.  I hope the petunias are still nice on July 26.  miracle grow has helped back here.  Hydrangea was alive when I left

I took a bunch of pictures before I left for C. Springs. These are the green bean plants.  have a few blossoms. I pulled out all the sugar snap and snow peas.  looked awful

I have had so little basil.  Cathy Sparks has wonderful tomatoes and basil.  I was able to help her out this past week staying at their home by making 7 little containers of pesto and put them in their freezer!

July 11- the start of the reunion!

Here are photos of the Italian garden.  I had such a shock today.  I went over to the Baileys and I was stunned at her tomato plants. I mean they are 7 ft tall.  kind of depressing for me.  at least there are some tomatoes, yellow grape tomatoes.

Then there is the zucchini.  No fruit yet.....

Then there is the volunteer whatever it is in the front pot.
