Hello Summer!

We've entered the month of June

over here at Every Little Birdies

Let the TEXAS summer begin!!

Time to enjoy a little gardening

I love my Red Geraniums

 The pungent smell of these flowers

take me back to my Nana's small

garden in England

 and my ferns are in remembrance

of my Dad. He had such a green thumb

and loved his many pots of ferns

a large galvanized tub filled

with asparagus fern

greets folks at our back door

 The succulents are loving the warm weather

However, sharing my flowerbeds

with these "nibblers" can be

a little challenging

I recently planted some

Lamb's Ear in my front flower beds

and they have stood the test

of a deer resistant plant 

 

Another plant not on the deer's menu

LANTANA

I love it, Texas hardy and beautiful too!

 These tubs are in a bed by the

outside patio

My secret to keeping the deer away 

from this area......

I plant different herbs in with my other plants

They hate the strong smells of herbs!!

One can get a little "dewy" 

gardening in the Texas heat

 

My favorite solution.......

Retreat to the screened summer porch

 

 Grab a big glass of iced tea,

kick back and enjoy the summer breeze

(even if it's from a ceiling fan)
