Maine Cottage Garden in August

 It’s been some time since we last showcased this cottage garden in Maine. So here is a tour taken in august 2021 when the hydrangeas are in bloom. 

                                   You’ll see nasturtiums and dusty millar
                                  Ivy, petunias, lobelia, alyssum, and pansies 
                                             Hydrangeas and hostas
                                       Containers of all shapes and sizes 
                                                    A wooden swan
                                        Geraniums and begonias
                                              Trellises and Bird houses
                                              Marigolds and zinnias
Rudbeckia in full bloom 
All surrounding a lovely pond and fountain. 


What to do when it is just too Darn hot to Garden?

It has been a very hot summer everywhere. From what I have been told it is normal to get 100 plus days from the months here from  May to Oct...
