Hello and welcome to Garden Bloggers Bloom day where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. The garden is in bloom and spring has sprung.   It has also been hot and dry and am hoping that we get some rain soon.  There had been some light showers but not enough to make an impression.  

To see more blooming gardens please go over to Carol at may dreams gardens. Have a great week gardening!

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day August 2016

 Rain fell heavily last Thursday and the ground pond has been  filled to the brim.

 The main pond that was having some algae problems is now clear!

 Passion fruits are now ripening so there will be more juice in the fridge.

 

 Rain lilies are out in full force!

Hello and welcome to GBBD where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens.

It rained heavily  last week Thursday for almost the whole day! And I was elated! The garden is bursting with new growth after a long drought. 

To see more blooming gardens please visit Carol at May dreams gardens. Wishing you all a great week!

August look out!

 I had a mixed seed packet of humming bird loving plants. These were the only ones that germinated. I thought they were salvias  BUT I was wrong. I don't know these plants they are adorable and a pleasant surprise.

 

Can someone help me out in identifying this plant?

I have just found a similar looking plant on the internet called the Mexican evening primrose so for now I think I have identified this plant.

Another mystery plant I need help with.

I have just replanted  lettuce in my aquaponic box.

 Hello and welcome to My Rustic Bajan Garden  It is August in the tropics when anything can happen. We have been getting some showers and the race is on to see who will be the winner in the garden. By that I mean if the weeds or the plants will win. 

I am also recovering  from hysterectomy surgery I had last month. I have to take it easy for at least 6-8 weeks. This is week 4.  So enjoy the rest of the week and happy gardening.

June too soon

 The recent showers have awakened these zephyrantes aka rain lilies. What a show they have put on!

 Teddy has become the official gate keeper!

 In time when I get tired of opening and closing manually,  I will consider automatic openers.

 Even the Postman likes his mailbox!

The official Hurricane season has started. We have had a little rain and the winds are still high.  The fence enclosure and gates have been completed so the postman and dogs are now safe!

Have a great weekend folks!
