Carol promised you a gardening tip, and I get to deliver. Steve Meggos hosted a garden walk for a variety of garden clubs last night, including the Central States Dahlia Society.

Afraid that inviting the Dahlia Club, Elk Grove Garden Club, and Bloomingdale Garden Club to visit our yard in mid-July would be a time of green. As in green everywhere with nothing much in bloom. After all, the garden was spectacular in late June with the roses and Asiatic lilies . . . → Read More: Fear Of Green On Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day A beautiful pond eludes us. We try. Really we do. Mike put in a pre-fab pond several years ago, complete with a small stream and headwater. But we can’t seem to really get ‘there’. By ‘there’, I mean it just doesn’t look like a miniature version of this one that we saw on a pond tour several years . . . → Read More: Pond Tours Coming Up – MPKS and Aquascapes We started our 4th of July celebration with a red, white, and blueberry delicious breakfast, enjoyed of course, outside in the yard.
