Garden Updates

We're having such a busy summer! This weekend was busy with us going to the inlaws on Friday to visit my SIL and her boyfriend who were here visiting from Ontario.  DD stayed overnight with her friend in town.  Saturday morning was the Soapbox Derby for DS. After that, everybody came over for BBQ lunch.  Then DD spent the night at a local friend's house and DS had to get packed for camp.  Yesterday we drove DS to camp, stopping at Victoria-by-the-Sea for chocolates on the way! We pick up DS on Friday and then it's the Oyster Festival!  Busy, busy ,busy! :-)

The perennial gardens are doing great! Here are some picture updates:

 The transplanted rose bush is blooming!  It needs to be trimmed though, because it has a lot of dead branches.

 Here it is before:

Here's the pond side garden:

Here it is before when I transplanted the plants in June:

Before in June:

 Veggie Garden. I don't know what happened, but none of my plants grew except a few lettuces and bokchoy which have now started to flower. Most of the flowers are some kind of weed. The wildflowers in front of the window did well!

Here it is in June:

Isn't it fun to see how much has grown in about a month? :-)
