Garden in the Spring 2014

An eye on my garden's flowers and veggies this spring, 2014., mostly May and June.



I often find that tastes for certain beauties seem to go in cycles. I've been really into daisies this year. This orange ones with purple rings around their centers caught my eye. They've been a source of constant beauty since May.



Off the driveway, near my door, is a very sunny area on the South side of the house. I eventually had to move these daisies since they were starting to burn, but this is where I originally had them among some statuary, the old cross I pulled out of someone's trash (yes I've been known to dumpster dive) and with honeysuckle tendrils moving in to encompass it.



Despite my dietary choices, in general I just don't find vegetables pretty. I'm trying to expand and learn how to take interesting or even attractive veggie garden photos. Here's some asparagus springing up, isolated with a blurred background from my zoom lens.

Only vegetable picture so far this year that I'm happy with, but I'll keep photographing.


According to the flower bed in Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland, you can learn a lot of things from the flowers, especially in the month of June. However, in Alabama May is generally the month we see the Spring bloom explosion. June did bring the blooms of a lovely pink rose in my yard along with some showers to fleck it with dewdrops.

One of the things I've loved about getting on Twitter is the social structure of the program makes it easier to discover people and blogs than Facebook. I have discovered many new fellow bloggers.

I am constantly inspired by The Redneck Rosarian, especially his Instagram feed of lovely rose photos from his gardens. Unfortunately, I am not the rose gardener he is and this pink rose has suffered from not getting enough light. I had planned to move it, however I was away last year taking care of my grandparents and it didn't get done. I'm scared to move it during the summer, but I read it can be done.


I have been absent from my photoblogging due to both being discouraged and because I'm working on another project. I find I missed it. Thanks for looking! Catch you next time...
