It is difficult to see in the photo, but a hummingbird buzzed right past us and fed on the Mexican Honeysuckle I just planted in our front yard. I had always heard about how much hummingbirds loved this plant, but this was the first time I got to witness it first hand! The society garlic is also beginning to bloom and will most likely continue through the summer.
The gardenia is a new plant that I have wanted for a long time but have just recently learned from other gardeners on how to keep them in the desert. Turns out the key is a bit of morning sun and shade for the rest of the day will get them through the summer. So hopefully mine will make it through without a hitch!
The alyssum and violas I planted in containers outside last October and they are still blooming like crazy! Talk about performers!
The vegetable bed is doing pretty well, the melons are doing so-so. I need to check the soaker house to make sure there are no kinks and everything is getting watered evenly.
The navel orange tree is also a new addition to the yard and was excited to capture a photo of a bee hard at work on the blossoms. Oh, do those blossoms smell good!
