Early Summer Garden

I enjoy sharing our garden with you every year. It’s always in full bloom, bursting with blossoms reaching for the sun. But, this year I want to share our early summer garden. The before of the amazing after. The little green starters surrounded by rich and nutrient filled soil. The newly planted and recently transplanted. In July or August, I will update the photos. I will share why we appreciate the much-needed combination of hard work, nature and nurture every year that brings fresh veggies to the table and fragrant flowers to our home.early summer garden katherines cornerWelcome to our home this is where love lives. Memories are made and tea is always ready. I’m not sharing the porch yet. I’m on the lookout for a little bench I can paint white ( or is already white)and I haven’t created our summer door wreath yet. Trust me, in my mind, it is sooo cute!early summer garden-katherines-corner Hubby and I recently planted the petunias ( our favorite summer annual) along the driveway. It was pouring rain but we pushed on until we were soaked. While I was showering the rain stopped, the sun came out and hubby planted the rest. Yes, he is that awesome.newly planted petunias great for driveway border We transplanted the peonies this year so we only had a few blooms. These are the Sarah Bernhardt variety. Peonies take a lot of patience. Newly planted peony bushes can take up to three years to have a full bush of flowers. They are so beautiful they almost don’t look real. Each one is brilliantly colored and the petals are close together like little bits of tissue paper. Peonies are filled with cut flower arranging possibilities. But, I didn’t cut any for the house this year, there were so few. We enjoyed them while they get used to their new home.peonies transplanted Every year we plant containers filled with fragrant petunias, geraniums, and other flower varieties. We add fillers, lemongrass, and potato vines that will soon cascade down the containers creating a beautiful scene. These are on our back patio. Sitting on the patio in the early morning you are surrounded by the hum of happy bees, birds calling out to wake up ( including the chickens clucking away in our neighbor’s yard) and the air is perfumed with the promise of warm sunshiny days. Izzy Bogart’s my photos regularly, look how cute he is!late spring early summer container gardens The veggie garden is one of my hubby’s happy places, as you can see there are already bits of green peeking out of the soil. We also plant basil and peppermint in the veggie garden. But, this year we put them in containers on the back porch. They look tiny in their big pots but just wait….early summer veggie garden

There you have it my sweet bloggy friends, our early summer garden.

I hope you enjoyed the before photos, I look forward to sharing the after photos later in the summer season. Have you been busy planting?

If you have any questions about gardening I’m always happy to share what I know.

I look forward to seeing what you share tomorrow at the TFT blog party for blog writers and blog readers.

The winner of the Target gift card giveaway is still pending. If you entered please make sure you have Katherines Corner in your approved list so it won’t go into the dark and scary bulk or spam folders.

Enjoy your day and remember to wear your sunscreen.

    It’s beautiful Katherine, and I know how much work that was to create all those beds with the edging, not to mention the plantings!

    Flowers and a garden – nice! I like the edging along the lawn. Did you do it yourself?

      Hi Alex, thank you. We hired someone to do the concrete mow strip when we were ready to lay the sod. Hugs!

    Aw, the garden looks beautiful. And we had peonies in my childhood home. Haven’t had them here though in years. But still one of my favorites, too! Happy Wednesday now, Katie xoxo <3

    Very nice, Katherine. I love gardening. We had granddaughter here (Vancouver Island) for two weeks, then headed south to California for grandson’s University graduation. So, as a result, my garden needs some loving right now. Enjoy your summer.
