JBigg: Life in Kentucky: ferns

Many of my zinnias are still producing flowers. The oranges seems to be flowering so brightly these days.

Still lots of pinks too. Others are starting too fade so I know they will soon go to seed.

The elephant ears look good. Some are in the ground and others are in pots. I'll dig them in another month to put in our shop for the winter.

I have a fern and hosta bed around a tree in the backyard that sadly I have neglected more than I should have this summer. The hardy ferns are doing great but so are the weeds.

New bed update: The expanded bed in the front yard is now complete. New plants are in place along with new mulch. A few crepe myrtles and azaleas remain from the old bed.

I am so thankful my grandson helped me water today. I haven't been able to get out and water the last few days. I had a radiofrequency lumbar facet ablation on Wednesday and needed one of my grandsons to help me out in the yard.

He is such a good helper and watered all the beds for me. We had to make a trip to Sonic for a chocolate shake after all his hard work!

The ranger is a life saver to haul water.

Yet another new project: You may have noticed there is a pile of top soil in front of the newly finished bed.

This bed is going to be for orange daylilies. Hubby arranged the stones around the bed. Now the dirt needs to be moved to the bed and daylilies planted.

That's it for flowers, ferns and beds. Until next time - Judy.
