Friday's In the Garden....Some Exciting News

Hi Everyone, before I show you what has been going on in my garden, I want to share some exciting news with you. I have been invited to join the Lowe's Creative Ideas garden blogging group. For the next six months, I will be participating in garden blogging challenges sponsored by Lowe's!


I know, it's crazy fun...right? Hopefully, my posts will inspire you to tackle some of these projects in your yard. WAIT... there's more, not only are they sponsoring my post...there will be a couple of opportunities for YOU to win a Lowe's gift card!


I'll tell you more about it as it goes along, but for now, be sure to subscribe to the Lowe's Creative Ideas Magazine OR  just get the app.

Now let me show you what has been going on in my garden. My Sum & Substance hosta is recovering nicely after I sprayed it to keep the deer away (see sad leaves on the bottom).


From this angle, you can't notice it at all


Along the driveway, the yellow Happy Returns Daylily is starting to bloom


This will bloom all summer


Finally, my favorite hydrangea....Endless Summer


This is why I love it so much....just look at all the color variations


Remember to take advantage before a good rain, and apply Holly Tone, your plants will thank you. What is blooming in your garden? If you have a link, I would love to tour it!

So neat that you are partnering with Lowe's. I love your garden and hope a little of your green thumb rubs off on me through your posts.

Congratulations on the Lowe's recognition! I have been looking seriously at my garden which needs a clean-up and the guys who more are unable to be creative and help me move stuff around. I wish I had more time...you are inspiring me to make a little time to do the basic needful and then I will leave it to the professionals.
