Saturday on the Farm

I really need to get better about posting this on Saturday.  Oh well, let’s pretend it’s still Saturday. lol

This week is all flowers! Before long, I hope to be sharing awesome pictures of some awesome vegetables!

 

The Lamb’s Ear in the Bible Garden is starting to bloom.

 

The Day Lilies, also in the Bible Garden, are in full bloom.

Wild Roses grow in abundance around here. We transplanted some into the flower gardens and keep them trimmed. This one is in front of the house growing on an old wagon wheel. (just ignore the weeds  🙂 )

 

Here’s one last picture of the Iris. They are now gone for the year. They put on quite the show while they are here, though.
