Garden Blogger’s Blooms Day and Fertilizer Friday
It’s mid July, time to see what’s going on in our gardens for Garden Blogger’s Bloomsday. It’s also Fertilizer Friday!
I
have a lot blooming,
so it makes it hard to believe my yard and gardens are showing the stress of very little rain 
and extremely high temperatures.
My grass is brown in spots
and some of my plants have given in to the heat and lack of water. 
But most are doing great!
So those are what I am sharing today,
the resilient plants that continue to flourish despite the conditions.

Our grass is brown, too, and many plants bloomed early and finished early. But there is still so much beauty in your garden. I love your planter with the black-eyed Susan vine. Pam x

Pam, that is the planter that I recieved when I was first place in the photo contest for Gardening Gone Wild last June. It’s a really nice planter, very big, and those plants are doing well in it. The black eyed susan vine loves where I have it ~lots of sun.

Beautiful blooms Teresa. Your garden is lovely.
We’ve been lucky in the Chicago area in the rain department this year, and very little supplemental watering has been needed. Not so lucky in the heat department though – what a sweltering summer it’s been!

Hi Teresa – your yard looks great, a lot of beautiful blooms. I love the area with the red chairs – you must really enjoy relaxing there. We have crunchy brown grass also.

It looks pretty great to me and I still love those red chairs! Thanks for visiting my blog. The orienpets stood up to high winds and three inches of rain last night, and most of them aren’t staked! I was a bit concerned! Larry

Your garden is so full of lovely blooms despite the conditions … still so much great colour.

You have a lot of great color in your gardens. I love the pop of red on your lawn chairs. What a focal point.

Our grass is browning up too, my MM says it’s just going dormant. You flowers look magnificent!!

That daylily in the second picture is so beautiful. There are very few daylilies that i like, but that one is more than OK by me!
Your gardens are very beautiful. I especially like the shot of your front porch. Very colorful. I want windows like you have.
