Summer rains

The verbena has a wonderful fragrance, I always enjoy pinching off the wilted flowers and the fragrance just fills the air, fresh and pleasant.

The petunias are all striving, although with too much rains the past few days, have turned the leaves a litte bit yellowish .... (sigh) I do hope the petunias survive the wet spell of late.

I know for sure the argeratum have thrown in the towel, they just lie there in surrender all wilted and brown. It would be nice if the argeratum will revive itself, the colour is a nice blue, my favourite colour in the garden. The petunias are a bright magenta and a nice purple and we also have a purplish blue hue in the window box. Of course the geraniums are hot pink and red.

This season we decided not to fill out the flower baskets along the back fence, too much work and too much effort and not enough time.

I will probably plant the herbs after returning home from my July vacation, I would stress over the plants when I am away and worse still, coming home to wilted plants. The pot, potting soil and seeds are all ready for planting. I look forward with excitement to planting the herbs.
