A Gardening Update - June 20th, 2015

 Welcome back to my garden.  I've had to take a small break from posting pictures since we've had so much rain and the garden got really muddy.

As you can see, our rose bush that took a big hit during the ice storm has come back full force.  It's not even in full bloom yet.  I had to cut it way back as there were a lot of dead parts.  It seems to be much healthier now.

 Here I've planted some beans that a neighbour gave us.  I have no idea what kind of beans they are.  He just said that they were broad beans.  I'll post a photo of them if we get any.

 Here we can see my happy Hosta plant in full bloom.  It's doubled in size from last year and is threatening to take over the entire front planter.  It's really pretty and I really don't mind.  Right next to it is a Variegated Hosta that is much smaller and not as hearty but is also in bloom.

 Here you can see that the cabbage is actually starting to look like an actual cabbage.  It's really interesting to see how fast it's growing.

 Here is my broccoli.  In the very centre you can see that the broccoli is just starting to form.  The plant has gotten much larger just this week.

 Here you can see 3 tiny green cherry tomatoes.  I'm not sure which variety they are as the tag has been washed away, but they look like they could possibly be Roma Tomatoes.

 Here are my cucumbers.  The plants are just starting to do much better.  We weren't sure that they were going to survive in the beginning.  Now there is a lot of new growth and all plants have started to thrive.

This plant was donated to me by another neighbour.  It was headed for the garbage but I rescued it at the last minute.  The neighbour was upset that in all the time that he had it, it never flowered once.  I do not know the name of the plant, but if any of my readers know, please feel free to message me and let me know.   After 8 years of growing, it has finally decided to flower.  Eventually when it opens up it will have beautiful white flowers.  It probably won't flower again for another few years.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the stroll through my garden.  If you have any comments or questions please feel free to message me.  I love to hear from my readers.
