He used the top of his old grill turned upside down with a stone paver under it and above it.........Pure genius!

Now it's much higher. Is it too high?.JPG)
I think it might be, but I am not changing it now. I really have a lot of tall purple phlox blooming right now. I am enjoying it all around the white arbor. I also have a lot white, but it blooms a few weeks later than the purple, so I still have the white to look forward to. There aren't too many plants left to bloom.

I can't believe how fast the summer season goes by!

I always feel sorry when I hear that your summer is coming to an end - I know it means that ours is beginning, and sometimes I feel sorry for that, too....lol.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a short period of time in which to enjoy your beautiful gardens before the cold comes again, whereas we have such a long time to struggle to keep ours alive through the summer.
Surely there must be somewhere on earth where there is a perfect balance?.....lol.
Zoey, your garden is such a delight this year - I love all the different colours mixed with so much greenery, and the blue planter is a real focal point now.
So colorful! I like seeing the blue pop in the distance there, so it's not too high. : )
ReplyDeleteAre you seeing any butterflies, especially on the phlox? Since we had such a cool summer, they just started coming around at the beginning of August-along with the mosquitoes!
Alice,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your always kind comments. We never really had much of a summer this year, but it was perfect for me. All the rain was wonderful and I even liked the cool temps. I hope your summer is wonderful, too.
Dianne,
I don't think I have as many butterflies as I uusally do. I have seen a few. Today I saw a hummer and they have not been around much this year. I don't feed them, but they usually are always sipping nectar from my flowers. Of course this year I with no annuals, I didn't have many blooms until now.
Oh, I'm so glad you're enjoying the crocosmia. You know I've long admired your garden so it's nice to see my little contribution in there. :)
ReplyDeleteZoey, I also grow the 'curly grass' so it was fun to see what you do with yours! I'll be following the poppy progress! Thanks for a lovely read.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thanks for sharing!
