Our newest flower garden, on the front lawn, set out on June 23, with, --

Lupine, Peony, Cosmos, and two Coral Bells.

O-o-o-oh, that glorious Lupine spike, in our front yard!
(By the way, "How do like them apples?!?")

Isn't this great? It's known as "Million Blooms."

We were warned not to water it too much, because it could develop root rot if it has toom much water.

Gerberer Daisy, with wild (yellow-centered) daisies in the background.

As the fella sez --

"Oh, them Gerberer Daisies!"

Summer Squash and Radishes
(Comapnion Planting)

More Companion Planting: Pole beans, Cucumbers, and Radishes. Great things anticipated! --
(or should I say, "Good Eats?")

Companion Planting -- tomatoes and onions. Do you think it will work? These tomatoes are the "Sun Gold" variety, and "we like 'em!"

Views of the Coastal Botanical Gardens

Mary standing as we approached the main building at the Botanical Gardens, in Boothbay.

We were able to go there on our recent 48th wedding anniversary! Great trip!

See the web site URL on my Link List at the right.

Flowering tree -- have forgotten what kind.

But isn't it beautiful?

It's at the Coastal Botanical Gardens.

"On the hill" -- open structure near the main building at the Coastal Botanical gardens (Pergola).

Isn't this pond beautiful, reflecting the trees as it does? (There are Pond Lilies, too). This pond is part of the scenery at the Botanical Gardens, located not far from the main building (Boothbay).

Builder of the walls -- Jason gave us a lecture about wall-building at the Coastal Botanical Gardens. He has worked on building walls for 14 years.

Stone walkway (Nurembaga stone -- large flat ones), being explained by a builder of the walls at the Coastal Botanical Gardens. Nurembaga stone comes from near Hope, Maine.

Flowers Galore, in Our New Gardens, Spring 2007

Our new Foxglove plant, situated near the eastern house wall, has begun to show us its regal color.

A variety of flowers in our round pot, with Foxglove in the background.

This "Bleeding Heart" is surrounded by the beautiful plants called "Pansies," which are in full bloom, though the "Bleeding Heart" blossoms have run full course.

First year "Bleeding Heart" with its beautiful flowers.

Forscythia in full yellow dress, on our front lawn a little earlier this Spring.

Corner flower garden, with hollyhocks, cosmos (both from seed), Geraniums, etc.

Beautiful, young tomato plant, with first blossom!

New Plants and Cages ("Super Steak")

Sun Gold tomato plants (far side), and

Burpee's "Big Boy" (near side).

Moving topsoil around, in the garden. A new load of topsoil needed a little rearranging.

Earlier sun condition, from about 6:00 o'clock to noon; shade has not arrived yet toward the back (west).

Sun and shade in our newly tilled garden area.

How can we use the area that gets shade very early in the day (by about noon)?
