Well I have been so busy lately that I have completely neglected my garden so I wish to send some love there. The good news is, for the most part it is doing fantastic without my help! You can see the orange pumpkin blossom growing so it is official, the pumpkins are coming!
I even got one blueberry from my first blueberry bush, best tasting blueberry in the world!
My morning glories are doing exactly what I wanted, climbing our old ugly fence towards the sun. I am hoping it will eventually give us some privacy in the backyard and make the fence less unattractive.
My purple hollyhock has gone insane! I had no idea they got THAT tall! I can not wait for those buds to open.
Shockingly, my strawberry crop continues to yield some strawberries!
So that is the good news. The bad news is that aphids are killing my beautiful mock orange. I have used detergent water spiked with cayenne, nothing works. The peppers and strawberries growing in containers on my deck seem to be getting attacked by some kind of mold. And I continue to be attacked by biting bugs, right now I have a huge welt on my right forearm. When something bites me, my skin goes crazy and blows up so a little mosquito bite is a big deal and a spider bite? I have gotten two of those in the last few weeks and well, you just don't want to hear about them.
I need love to go all over my garden and protect me while I am in there. If I keep getting attacked (so far the fire ants have stayed away from me thank the Goddess) it just does not inspire me to spend any time out there at all.
Thanks for your help! Blessings to everyone.

As Suzie wishes for herself, I wish for her as well. Your garden is beautiful. The colors are so bright and just looking at your pictures make me feel good.
As Suzie wishes for herself and her garden, so I also wish. May the garden become all that you wish for and the fireants (nasty critters ... makes you wonder just what their purpose may be!) should find that you are NOT tasty!!
As Ginny wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
That's a darn impressive blueberry crop! And your hollyhock is still just a BABY. It will grow much taller still! We have pink and red ones blooming now in our front flower bed.
Sorry that should read....

LOL Susie....I am with you here...my poor garden seems to be doing ok on its own too...I have garden guilt I really do..just no time to make it beautiful!
May yours flourish and may the bitey bugs leave you be! A bit of lavender works wonders on stings!!
Hugs to you hon, Sarah

May your garden always yield a crop filled with love and good health. There is this young living essential oil I have used that helps with bugs and if you after a bite lavender oil works amazingly on getting rid of itch and sting. Love the new look to your blog, very vibrant and filled with life.

Definitely Love for your Mock Orange (((♥))) But how spectacular your garden really has become :) And as you said - all on its own...which is what I need to intend for my own next time I dig into it.
As Suzie wishes to send Love to her Garden, so too do I wish for Suzie's Garden to receive that Love♥

Your garden does look beautiful. I hope you get the opportunity to work/play in it without getting chomped on my bugs. I'm sure it will appreciate the love.
And I can relate to the aphid infestation - last year when my lupine plants were infested, I tried everything I finally pulled all the plants out. Oops. Someone told me after I should have just cut the lupine all the way back - so they could come back the next year...so you may want to check into that. I ended up getting some volunteers again this year - and no aphids thankfully.
As Suzie wishes for herself, I wish also for her.
Lovely garden, and congrats on that first blueberry!

What a wonderful place to send love. Your garden looks beautiful... much better than mine this year. xx
I planted a blueberry bush last fall and actually had a small (20 berries) crop this year--they were delish!!
