Take a look at the other blogs I love to read. Leave a comment if you like. But most of all. Enjoy your time here, and come back soon.

Where did the time go?

So I just realized that I missed 2 Thriving Thursdays.  How did I do that? Oh well.  Anyways I have lots to show you all.
Like my Marshmallow plant is now flowering.  Such a pretty delicate flower.

 Blue Chiffon Rose of Sharon is in full bloom. So pretty with the rain drops.
The white Rose of Sharon is also blooming beautifuly this rainy morning.
 My new Rose of Sharon bush is this beautiful Blush Satin.  I love it.
 And the old big double purple Rose of Sharon bush is also flowering.  Can you tell I like Rose of Sharon bushes.  They are just so pretty.
The first of the Rose of Sharon bushes along the driveway have finally bloomed....simple yet pretty.  So far thats 5 different types that are in bloom right now.  I still have at least 1 other variety to bloom.
 Finally a pumpkin to speak of.  Gets bigger every day so thats good.
And the big news of the day other than the pretty blooms around the gardens is my tomatoes are finally starting to turn a color other than green.

Ok so thats not the biggest news of the day.  A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to start a small business selling my herbs.  See they love the greenhouse and I had started to add cuttings to the compost pile because they were growing so fast I had more than I needed.  I mean I was cutting mint and basil every week and now my dried herb containers are full.  So as of late this past week I received my sales tax licence in the mail so Irish Gardens is now open.  I am so happy and can't wait to really get started.

  2. That's no joke this summer has been hard on the garden. Either too much rain or not enough..but mostly not enough rain.

  3. Love your Rose of Sharons. They look so pretty in the pastel shades. Good luck on selling herbs. Sounds like the business picked you!
