Orchid Re bloom

Pond in the late summer

Water Lettuce and Water Hyacinth is out of control as usual for the hot weather. I found a  large glass bowl and placed several on the table  as a centerpiece. Been removing a lot of it to the compost heap and it still keeps coming. That is Joe Pye weed arching over the water and it attracts lots of bees and butterflies but its a bit of a nuisance this time of year. When it rains it nearly touches the water.

The Potting Cabinet

Looking for the perfect piece to use as storage on the covered patio to store all the garden implements that get out of hand we found this cabinet at At Home. Not the nicest piece of furniture but great for this purpose. With a few baskets inside, it keeps all my gloves, pruners and Spray bottles neat and out of sight as well as the fish food and other things. Should stay pretty dry all summer and need a cover in the winter. Probably needs a bit of paint in some green color to make it a little more outdoorsy?

This pot is doing well despite the frequent foraging by squirrels and foraging for God knows what.
