Backyard Garden Update July

July was a whole lot of let it grow.

These are some of the plants in bloom




 Mabel Grey Scented Geranium

 
 Calendula just before it began to bloom.
 Nasturtiums
 Swamp Milkweed


 Gazania
 Anise Hyssop

 Yarrow

 Artemesia

The back yard enjoying growth and decoration.  We added a third trellis back by the fence for Hyacinth Bean.  I got some seed from the Garden Club and planted them along the bottom.  The trellis is to keep Chas from trimming them down before they get big enough to grow on the trellis.  Hyacinth bean can grow inches in a day, so although an annual it can cover the trellis by the end of the season with no problem.







 The peas have taken over the string.  I am not sure what to do now that they are higher than the posts.




 Scented geraniums by the back door.


 The vegetable garden is getting tall and full with much potential by the end of the month.




The herbs seemed to be growing more slowly than I expected so I started a program of adding compost tea and new rich soil and compost to the garden in 2 week intervals to see if there is improvement.  By month end they are beginning to get better.

 By month end the calendula and Nasturtiums joined the rest of the flowers in bloom!
