Yikes! Bugs is the garden?
Last year was an abundant year for butterflies and this year looks good so far. They love the ligustrum.
All over the butterfly bush.
Ants on the pretty gold flower. Our friend Gerri gave me seeds for this last summer and we have them blooming everywhere.
Can you see the spider on the red zinnia?
If you love gardens you have to accept that bugs belong there. Especially the pollinators.
We have two honey bee hives and appreciate the worker bees pollinating.
Thornless blackberries second year in the garden. Hopefully they will do well.
Same with the blueberries.
Baby carrots from a pot, yum.
The first cucumber, not quite ready to pick. Give it a day or two.
Cucumber blooms are so pretty, the honey bees help with this crop.
Green beans are almost ready to pick.
The first tomatoes were picked green by the squirrels. We are building a cage for the tomato garden to try and keep them out. Wish us luck. Last year they ate every tomato.
June is the most colorful time in the Experimental Garden.
Think I will go sit and enjoy.
Your gold flower looks like Cosmos, they will be everywhere next year. I hate squirrels, they eat our fruit. Love the Crimun lilies. Your containerized begonia is pretty, love zinnias and use ornamental potato vine all around here.
