Thriving Thursday - End of June

The end of June here at IrishGardens means the plants are getting big.  How about your gardens?  Are they Thriving at the end of June?
Here is what is Thriving this week.

 The Butterfly/Hummingbird flower garden are opening up and showing off some very pretty wild flowers.

 More Day Lilies are opening every day.

 This pretty pansy is a greenhouse rescue.  $1 for 2 4 cell packs

 The Morning Glory bush Convolvulus finally began to open..granted it doesn't look like a bush but they do look like really small Morning Glories just not on a vine.

 Echinacea in the Greenhouse is beginning to bloom.

My Gardinia that I have inside as a Bonsai, is blooming.

And my pride and joy of the garden is the Strawberry Spinach plant is growing something other than leaves.  It looks like soon I will get to see the Strawberries that grow.  I can't wait.  Supposed to be interesting looking.

Show off whats Thriving in your Garden today.  Leave a link so others can see.  Have a great weekend.

Time to get dirty

The hubby took the kids to the park for a couple hours this afternoon.  Me time! Well me time turned into garden time.  See when kids are around some of the garden work just has to wait.  At least for me it has to wait.

So what could I have gotten done in 2 short hours?  Well I

Dug up some of the marigolds growing in the greenhouse (this is just one plant and it's root ball) and transplanted them outside.

Then I

Inspected the tomato plants and found all the open flowers.

After which I

Pulled the little sneaky weeds trying to grow in the tomato beds and found this pretty flower finally blooming.  The Convolvulus 'Blue Enchantment'.  Then it was on to the other gardens to do some weed control.

May not sound like much but it had to be done.  Oh and after the last 2 days of down pours I had to empty out the potted plants poor things were drowning.

So if you had an hour or two of kids free time what would you do in your garden?
