GARDEN PICTURES

I just thought I would take a few pictures of some of the flowers in my garden. It has been so hot and dry here in Ontario that they need constant watering. This morning I was out in the barn at 5:30 and I heard the first attempt of one of our Roosters trying to crow. I didn't know what the noise was at first, I thought something had gotten into the chicken coop. I went and took a look and I saw the little guy trying to crow for the first time. It was actually an awful sound.  It turns out we have 4 roosters. We bought 24 laying hens and they were supposedly sexed when we got them but I think someone was sleeping on the job!
I planted some herbs in this old wash tub. Orange Thyme, Rosemary, & Sage

Some Shasta Daisies. 

Echinacea (Purple Coneflower)

Hydrangeas are gorgeous this year

Orange Lillies

  4. GORGEOUS Janet!! The hydrangeas, though, are my favorite....wish they grew better here. Love the bee skep on the post too....It's been very hot and humid here as well - and DRY....It finally cooled down the past few days, but still no rain. After record rainfall mid-June, we've had nothing since. Praying and hoping....for the both of us! Happy Monday! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
