Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....
I
feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin
Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I
was....
I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....
As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

A NOTE ABOUT COMMENTS
I
enjoy reading your comments and will return the favor by visiting and
commenting on your blog or reply to you directly here if you do not have
a blog but I do have my comment section set to Moderation due to
spammers and hackers so your comment will not appear immediately...
And since I have a very busy life, like most of us do, it may take me awhile to return your comments but I promise I will....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my last post, I shared my Falloween Haul and New Dollar tree Pricing....
And how I updated the gnome garden in a tub by brightening it up....
And now for a few Personal Notes...
I have not been feeling well for the last few days as I apparently caught a GI virus that was going around and it really did me in....
I seem to be on the mend now though so Beware, there is something going around including a new strain of Covid!!
Today, I am once again sharing my little Back Yard Cottage Garden....
Unfortunately, they only bloom in the month of June and then after that, they need to be cut down because they really look awful afterward....
So I thinned out and cut back all of the Missouri Primrose and it was time to then rearrange a few things in the Cottage Garden....
I will start with the left side of the yard....
I cut off some coleus from the plants I have growing in the front yard and am propagating them and will plant these in other pots once they start to root....
I decided to put them in cups of water because I was not sure yet where I want to plant them....
Last year, I just stuck them into other pots....
Cutting back the Missouri Primrose opened up a lot more room in the yard.....
Right in back of the wrought iron table and chairs on the Patio.....
Those are asters which will bloom in late Summer/early Fall with deep purple blooms.....
I also moved this vintage watering can over here for a pop of color....
Stone crop sedum......
The loosestrife is growing nicely on each side of the arbor and are starting to bloom with purple flowers that the bees love....
I actually moved the faux greenery over here inside of the planter behind the pedestal....
I planted cone flowers seeds in the small planter in front.....
I cover it to prevent the chipmunks from digging holes in it to bury their treasures....
Can you see the leaves in my yard????
Yes, I am having yellow leaves falling off the trees behind me already!!!!
My balloon flower that I planted last year in this vintage pail is now starting to bloom.....
I transplanted a Lamb's Ear from my neighbor's yard on the right side of it....
This is the area where I had to cut down the arborvitae that died on me....
My Fur Baby Memorial Garden....
I planted this hosta by where I cut the tree down and I hope I can saw more of it off in the Fall when it is cooler.....
I took those faux greenery out of this planter and planted Black Eyed Susan seeds in it and partially covered it to protect them from the chipmunks....
Looking at the other side of the yard....
Again, I planted marigold seeds in here and covered it because the birds like to pick them out....
The fountain in the bird bath is not shooting up because it is solar powered and was in the shade....
More Gnomes....
Another loosestrife blooming....
Again, I have faux flowers "planted" in all the pots on the Patio....
I planted marigold seeds in the pot inside of the bird cage and you can see some are popping up....
Impatiens, begonias and marigolds planted on the edge of the Patio in pots....
I did transplant a hosta in here that I thought died but just the leaves fell off and it appears to be taking along with some lamb's ear....
The other side of the middle garden bed....
More Gnomes....
The columbine leaves are turning red....
Sedum is to the right which will bloom in late Summer...
On the right side of the yard....
The hosta I planted in the pot in the Spring is doing well and I planted another lamb's ear in the other pot....
Asters are on the right which will bloom with light purple daisy like flowers in late Summer....
And there you have it....
Not are colorful as when the Missouri Primrose was in full bloom....
I will do another update in Late Summer...
When it gets cooler, I am going to get several bags of red mulch, have my son Jim or my neighbor Mo carry them from the car to the back yard and will finally get a good layer of mulch down back here...
And I am waiting for my former neighbor who is a landscaper to come and give me a price on weeding my front slope and mulching it as I just can not do that by myself anymore....
I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY for my next post!!
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, your backyard looks great, so colorful. I wish I had your talent. My mom is trying to propagate hydrangeas, I imagine she will be successful since she has a green thumb like yourself. We have rocks... yeah for me. I hope you are doing well. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're on the mend! Your backyard is looking fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! You've been busy -- and so glad you are feeling better. That's a lot of work and you've got it down. The garden looks great. Happy week! (And thanks for your visits!)
