After the Rain: A Garden Tour

 

Rain Soaked Rose

You might not appreciate yet another garden tour, but, I took some pictures of my own garden after all our recent rains.  It is not a botanical garden, by any means, but, you are welcome to tour my garden with me.

In the front garden, we have, in addition to the rain-soaked red rose above:

Jade Plants
This one plant is about 3 ft. high

Aeoniums
This is one plant that is spreading out

Lantana

Euryops

And various other plants that I didn't take pictures of this time around.  

In the back garden, we have:

A New Strawberry Plant: "White Carolina Pineberry"
White fruit with red seeds

Plant Tag for White Carolina Pineberry

Then, we have the citrus plants:

Satsuma Tangerines Starting to Ripen

Lemons Starting to Ripen, Too

Lemon Blossom

Buds on the Orange Tree

The summer vegetables are mostly over.  But, this one butternut squash plant still has baby butternuts:

Late Season Butternut Squash

Then, there's what I'm calling my little glimpse of autumn colors:

Nectarine Tree Shutting Down

Plum Tree Turning Color, Too

In addition to the new strawberry plant, there are some more new plants for the garden, too, that daughter wanted to grow in the raised bed planters she bought and assembled:

Japanese Herbs: Japanese Mugwort, Mizuna, and Some Others

Japanese Herbs in the Planter
with Radish Seeds at the Other End

Daughter's Raised Garden: Arugula & Kale, Japanese Herbs,
Newly Transplanted Kale Seedlings in the 3rd Planter

Meanwhile, the plants in the "bulbery" (mostly bulbs that M shared) are thriving:

Calla Lilies and Irises

Another Look at the Bulbery

And on the other side, we have the Stonery:

The Stonery

Which seems to have its own little stumpery started!  LOL.  

The Mini Stumpery! 

M put the big stone and two branches down to discourage the garden cats from digging up and sleeping on the plants and I added a third branch more recently!

I am very happy to see that there are at least four nasturtium seedlings growing in the stonery, growing from the seeds that the previous plant, which died in the summer, had dropped:

Currently, there aren't many flowers in the back garden.  But, if you look closely, you can find one or two:

Chrysanthemums Hiding Among the Four O'Clocks

Paperwhites 

It's raining, again, as I type this.  I know the plants are enjoying the extra watering.

The garden cats are not too happy, but, they are managing to keep dry:

Fluffy and Scruffy Sharing a Cardboard Box
Moo Sheltering Under the Patio Table
Patches, their Mother, Disappeared

Thank you for visiting my garden.  Hope you enjoyed the tour.
