We seem to be always living on the cusp of – or in the midst of – drought, until this year. We had far-above average snows this winter and the spring rain has been unexpectedly plentiful. Rather than the usual harsh temperatures, the weather has been quite moderate.
We’re a bit confused here in Colorado, but we are enjoying the unexpected wetness this year. My garden has been happily drinking in all the moisture and producing lovely lush plants and fruit.
It’s such a delight compared to the usually harsh heat. The baby fruits I published a few weeks ago are maturing now.
As for me, some new ideas were planted this spring. They began as tiny seeds and they are growing in fits and starts. I think the garden will be ready before my ideas are. That’s okay, there’s no rush!
Peace With My Life 
Lush, beautiful and rather edible from the look of things!

We are having an over-all cooler summer so far, but we have finally hit our stride! Way hot this week, until the rain hit. I hope you find a way to cool off!

Yup, we had a brief “cool front” which brought things into the 80’s. The 90’s will resume later. I’m very grateful that my office and home have A/C.

Sounds like time weather had been a blessing for everyone. Because of all the spring rain in the SE, the watermelon and straw berries and peaches have been exceptionally sweet and juicy.

Thank goodness I don’t intend to. I am happy to share with all those wonderful birds. Wild birds need care, too.

Ooooh, thank you! Now that I know what they are, I can check to be sure they aren’t toxic to our pets! I haven’t seen our dogs try to eat them before, but they are usually unappetizing sticks with leaves. I’ve not seen the flowers this vibrant before!

They are pretty popular with gardeners, so I assume they are safe, but maybe I shouldn’t make assumptions haha

Since the dogs have never eaten them, I suspect that they are safe too. A coworker told me about researching every plant in her new home’s back yard to be sure it is safe. We moved in to our home years ago and never gave it a second thought. It made me feel like a bad pet mom (Groan).

Beautiful garden pics, thanks for sharing. Abundance! Everything is so flourescent green here in the mountains – doesn’t look like the Rockies, and I’m seeing flowers and plants that haven’t shown themselves in 15 years!

Right? All my family that lives in the Deep South can’t understand how unusual this is and how special it feels. They get it every year, but in the Rockies, this is unusual. I’m relishing it while it’s here! Grateful.

Wonderful! We have been too wet this year and are having fungus issues with a lot of growing things. Others are totally out of control but it’s green and lush. Not complaining. Wonderful pictures!

I can’t imagine things being so wet that you’re growing fungus! Living in the west, we are used to everything being dry, so fungus seems unreal. I’m sorry that it’s an issue for you! I’m sure it’s quite green and lush for you. (Wistful)

My roses took a beating this year. Black spot early, hungry deer. I never had a big flush of color.

Our roses went from one to dozens seemingly overnight. I have no idea what black spot is, but deer are not a problem here, at least. I’m sorry they put your garden at risk. I’m a rather poor and inexperienced gardener. I expect failure at every turn, so it’s a delight when something works out!
