My Iris are almost done for the year. I’m lucky I was able to get the photos I did as the rain and wind did a number on them. I had one dark purple Iris that was blooming for a day that I managed to get a picture of that day and it was on the ground by the following morning after a storm. I’ll have Lilies soon, but I don’t have nearly enough flowering plants in my yard. That may have to change this summer.

I am a slightly sane artist, amateur photographer, book addict, wife, mom and raging introvert. I have more hobbies than I can count, so it is beyond shocking that I manage to find time to do any of them, let alone most of them and still have time to do anything else. Of all the talents I claim, writing wasn’t one of them until my muse dropped the idea for a book on my head.

Should my geranium blooms be dead already?

I’m not a geranium expert, so I’m not certain, but… I don’t think so? I think, if they are potted, they should last most of the summer. It could be they need to be dead-headed (pinching off the old, dried up blooms).

I’m laughing @ geranium expert 😂 You mean that’s not in your professional C.V.?! 😂 I think the plant itself is still healthy, looks good but no more red petals! I think the rain knocked them off. We had downpours but I’m hoping some come back. I actually took good care of this one haha.

Ha! If I were to attempt to write a C.V. it certainly wouldn’t look all that professional. Professional Couch Sitter and Impulsive/Compulsive Crafter probably aren’t glowing recommendations.
If I remember correctly, my mom’s had blooms on them almost all summer, so there is a good chance they will rebloom. More than likely the rain did give them a beating.

I have been pulling out ivy from the garden all day. I didn’t do it last year and its grown up under the siding and through the brick 😠😠😠

Ivy can be pretty to look at, but it is my understanding it can be pretty damaging to what it grows on. I think we are too hot here for it to grow well. Instead I have mint I can’t kill without a nuclear bomb or removing a section of soil that goes at least 10 feet deep. Even then, the probability of either of those is most likely still close to nil. NEVER AGAIN!!

We had chocolate mint here when we moved in and it’s held up through soil tilling and putting a sandpit around it 😬
