Mom's Garden Pics

I recently made a trip to my mom's house. We needed to get Holly spayed and here in my town, it costs about $450 to spay a cat. There's a little town not far from my mom's house and they have a country vet who does it for $95. Well worth the trip across town to save some cash. :) We also got her microchipped. This little "country vet" also sees goats, horses, etc. It's not uncommon to see a goat tethered to a post outside the building waiting his turn to see the vet. :) Anyway, while we were waiting to pick up sweet Holly, I took some pics of my mom's garden. Y'all probably remember me talking about how my mom is a Master Gardener. She's my go-to person for gardening advice. All these pics are from my phone, so they might not be great, but you can still enjoy seeing her garden. :) You can always see more garden pics by clicking on the "Garden" tab under Labels on the right side of my blog. :)

I love the curvy lines in her garden. These zinnias are so pretty.

The black eyed susans are great bloomers.

I love this little spot. The purple blooms are society garlic. Mine hasn't really bloomed that much this season.

This is my favorite pic. Love the little chair!

Here's her water harvesting system behind the garage. She collects rain water and uses it to water her plants. She said one 20 minute rain will fill up one whole barrel! 

Crepe myrtles are a staple gardening item in Texas. Everyone uses them because they are such good bloomers and don't need a lot of water. They tolerate heat very well too.

Pretty roses.

I really like the rock border she has.

So much color!

This little plant is called a Diamond Frost Euphorbia. It's supposed to be an annual, but she's had it for 3 years. She does bring it into the garage if it's going to freeze, so that probably helps. 

Here are a few pics of my garden too...

I know this pic isn't great, but I love to see my crepes blooming!

Here's a closer shot.

This is a purple one.

Here's a pic I just took of my lemon tree. It looks like I'll actually have some lemons this summer. Yay!

My mom gave me this "Fruit Cocktail Shrimp Plant." I have a regular salmon colored shrimp plant, but I love how this one has so much color. After it cools down a bit, I plan on planting it in the ground. 

I can't believe this scaevola is still doing well in this window box! Nothing else seems to be able to take the heat in this spot, so I'm glad I finally found something that can. Although I do have to water it daily. 

The grass seems to be doing pretty well, but we've been having to water a lot lately. We really need some rain.

On the left, you can see that I finally had to put my Meyer Lemon tree in the ground. It wasn't very happy in a pot. Bless its heart. :)

The white crepes are blooming now too.

My society garlic isn't blooming very well this year, but it still smells good.  :)

I guess that's all the garden pics for now. Thanks you so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!
