Magical nasturtiums

Even with being so busy, I still try to spend as much time in the yard as possible — usually just de-stressing after another ridiculous day. Pretty pleased with how the backyard beds are looking — Thanks again to the regular watering from new irrigation. Front yard, on the other hand, looks like a dead dry mess. Guess I need to irrigate it next year.

circle bed

I overhauled this bed in the spring. Turned out very pretty!

The full view of the corner bed. Magical nasturtiums indeed!

mallow

This mallow is a new addition this year. Mom had them in Colorado and I always like them. Turns out I still like them and they are a new favorite. Hope they go to seed and I can spread them to other spots.

back of house

The bed along the back to the house filled in very nicely this year, thanks to regular watering. Lovely lilies and back-eyed susans.

herb bed

The herb bed is also looking very nice this year. The monarda didn’t do as well as last year but the black-eyed susans have been stunning!
