This is in bloom
My dollar store gladiola
I try and plant some in remembrance of my Mom
She looooooved gladiola
The pkg on this said either solid red or solid pink
When it bloomed I was pleasantly surprised
So pretty
These guys are the steady Betty in the garden
A pop of color right up till fall
My autumn sedum is getting ready for its fall show of pink
I picked these onions as they were dried
Very disappointed
The varmints got a lot of them
The ones left are the size of a nickel
I think the onion sets were bigger when I planted
So much for putting 120 onions in the freezer
I spent so much this year on the garden with little result
First weather was raining every day 2 inches
Then was dry
Then deer and other animals attacked it
My kale, radishes,beets and dill wiped out
Parsley gone
Lettuce gone
They are even attacking garlic
I guess bear, skunk,raccoon,squirrels,rabbits,deer all eat garlic
Whoda thunk
I guess God needed a farmer to feed his animals
And they ate pretty good lol
You gladiola has such pretty colors!! The deer munched off all the buds on my lilies except for a couple--i didn't even get to see them bloom!!
ReplyDeleteThey have woodland all around here and why do they insist on eating my flowers? Dessert I'm guessing...
I started quilting my Pear Ojos this morning--boy am I rusty--i may have to begin again...
and so it goes hugs, Julierose
🌼 Beautiful gladiolus! Very pretty marigolds.🏵 Thankfully, my marigolds are hanging in there too. My little garden area is suffering because while I was so sick, I couldn't care for it. So I've been trying to doctor on it a little each day as I gain back strength. 🌷 Sounds like the animals enjoyed snacks from your plants. 🐰🦨🐌🐿 You'd think they wouldn't like garlic, but garlic is very yummy. 🌝 Enjoy your day! 🧡
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! We've been watering our plants but it's so hot and dry. Not a drop of rain today. I'm hoping for some cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteLove your glads. My great grandmother got me gardening when I was little with planting them. Seriously they were eating your garlic and onions too? I am sorry you are feeding the vermin in the neighborhood.
