Early July Garden Tour

Leave a comment

Hello friends, and welcome to my garden!

I am so excited about how my garden is looking overall this year. It is definitely a blessing from the Lord! My cucumbers, squash, and zucchini have exceeded my expectations. My sunflowers are doing wonderfully. It is not my year for tomatoes on the other hand. Which is totally okay!

I thought I would share a recent garden tour with y’all today. I hope you enjoy it. Please click the play button on the picture above to watch.

In real time, my garden is turning into a jungle in some areas. It is almost time to rip out the zucchini and squash plants and add something new. I’m thinking I may go with bush beans.

If you have a garden, how is it going? I hope you are having a great year!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends.

Blessings, Nicole

Mid-June Garden Tour + Renovations

Leave a comment

Hey friends, and welcome to the blog!

Here it is July, and I’m just now sharing this mid-June garden tour with y’all from my YouTube channel. I’m so sorry for the delay!

While I’m still growing (or trying to grow) a lot of vegetables, I’ve also decided to ramp up our flower production this year. I’m mainly focusing on sunflowers, because they just bring me so much joy during the summer. I started them on the late side, so they are just about ready to bloom. I also just planted more seeds so hopefully they will continue late into the summer/fall.

I love my garden spaces so much, and I’m very thankful God has allowed me to have them!

This summer is just flying by. I try to remind myself that fall doesn’t officially begin until late September. I still have plenty of time to enjoy my plants!

I most likely am posting this blog on the 4th of July. If you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful day! We plan on having a cook out along with some water fun in our yard.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I will talk to you soon!

Blessings, Nicole

P.S. I have a 30% off sale going on in my Etsy shop through today! Thank you so much if you decide to check it out!

A Morning in My Garden | June 2023

Leave a comment

Hey friends, and welcome to the blog!

In the morning, I love to spend some time in my garden. This is one of my favorite parts of summer! It is so peaceful, and I think it is a wonderful place to think and pray.

We have lived here three years now, and each year my garden gets better. Perennials are starting to spread, and my yard is beginning to fill in.

It is such a blessing to see one of my dreams come true. After moving a lot and leaving half-done gardens, it has made my heart happy to see this one come to life.

I don’t know if we will be here forever, and that’s okay. There have been many times in life that my plans differed from God’s. But for now I’m so thankful for this season.

As a bonus, several of my children have started to enjoy gardening, too! I hope they remember these times for the rest of their lives.

I’ve been particularly drawn to the flowers in my yard, lately. They attract pollinators, as well as being beautiful.

I’ve had both failures and successes, but today I’m concentrating on the successes! (Right now Japanese Beetles are ravaging my bean plants. I’m not too happy about that, ha!)

Summer is usually the time I enjoy the garden without trying to plant anything new other than annuals and vegetables. In my experience, plants thrive much better if planted in spring or fall.

Thank you so much for visiting my garden with me today. I’ll talk to you soon!
