We finally got a break on Sunday -- the high was only 88. The garden is looking much better since we started watering although on Saturday we got plenty of thunder and lightening but no rain. If we are lucky we might get some rain tonight or tomorrow. Probably scattered showers but that is better than nothing. We've been trying to get all our new plants in the garden and some maintenance taken care of.

You have been busy with the new plantings and those fix it up projects. Love the little water wiggler. How long do the batteries last? I think my next water fountain will be solar too. Then, I can move the water containter off the patio and buy more sun loving water plants. I'd never considered umbrellas for my plants. They look good too.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, everything looks so nice, Sandy! I just love sitting in the garden in the evening. Our evenings are usually pretty cool - even on hot days so I'm out there a lot.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking great! Tremendous job and thank you so much for using Rust-Oleum to transform your chair.
