Gardening in Pennsylvania ~ July 2013

by Julie @ Wife, Mother, Gardener

Take a walk around our garden this July to see what is blooming in the heat!
It has been nearly 90 degrees (32 C) everyday this week and very dry. Watering needs to happen every other day for my veggies and containers, which gives me an opprotunity to walk (slowly!) around and appreciate the flowers that thrive during these sultry summer days.

I'm so glad we get these regular visits to your garden, Julie. I love the foliage on that canna (I'm one of those who would probably cut off canna flowers) and the photo of the hummingbird moth is so cool.
