I posted my pictures and tried to write something under each one. After I posted, all the writing was all over the place. So, guess I'll write here. I can't believe it is August, the summer has flown by. We have had lots of rain in Ohio, over 4 inches last week. My dahlias are starting to bloom, dahlias are one of my favorite flowers. No.1 is Hydrangreas, there are so many different varieties. The big tall Hydrangeas at the side of my house is called Limelight.
I should paint our little shed but, haven't had time. The next thing you know it's going to be too cold to paint.
Finally got the 3 twig scarecrows up. I made another one a couple weeks ago. We had some sycamore limbs come down. So I made a scarecrow out of it, looks like the poor guy has skin problems. LOL!
Hope everyone has a great day!!
I like the shed with the chippy peeling paint! And your garden is gorgeous!!! Do you have to dig up your dahlias in the fall? I do here in Missouri so I pretty much quit planting them. In my garden it's survival of the fittest!
ReplyDeleteSheri~Yes, I dig my cannas and dahlias in the fall. You can even wait till it frosts,
ReplyDeletealmost like digging potatoes.

If you have the book Seasons at Seven Gates Farm the directions for the twig scarecrows are in there. They are fun to make and they all turn out different.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments!!

Your garden is laughing in color!!! I absolutely adore your little white shed with all of the bunting on it...now THAT should be in a magazine!
ReplyDeleteJulie, Just don't know how you do all the gardening and extra stuff you do, but everything is amazing and I love it when you share your pictures with us. I really envy all your talent. Everything is wonderful, love your scarecrow men, I have one and love him. But yours look good as a group.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely garden, Julie! Those hydrangeas are a dream. And, NO deer damage! Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers, they've brightened my day!
