Garden tour

[Hera]

The daylilies are in full swing and I did a tour of the garden this morning. I also love my hostas and coleous, the colors are subtle. Enjoy a little tour of a midwest garden.

And the last. Love summer time, so many colors. Too bad there are so many Japanese beetles this year. They decimate the roses and clematis. Darn bugs are driving me crazy.

It's all Nick's fault .... he started with the daylilies, now you're enabling, I have 4 new blooming plants, 4 seedling crosses & I tried 2 packets of seed!

Japanese beetles ..... I'm gonna jinx myself by saying I haven't seen one or evidence of one yet. Have you tried nematodes from Gardens Alive or milky spore or Grubex? All work well, the trick is to get these products down in May, they attack at the grub stage before they mature & emerge with their voracious appetites!
