~Sunday Afternoon in the Garden~


The weather was perfect today in San Diego.
 Why not stamp some rocks for the garden!
Little mushrooms for the fairies.
Thinking of my favorite place...
A new resting place.
New lettuce to plant.
Our butternut squash is just starting to get bigger.
The lion's tail plant had lots of blooms this year.
Our Clematis is growing on the outside cabinet, so pretty!
I harvested lots of heirloom tomatoes.
A caprese salad sounds good tonight.
Crape Myrtle trees in the entrance for our potting area.
I picked sound fresh flowers for our tables outdoors.

~Artichoke and Rosemary~
A beautiful combination together!


Our new olive tree,
with little olives on it.
Some of our carrots are going to seed.
I might have to cut off some of the blooms for bouquets.
Tomorrow is another day.
A little treat.
 To end a beautiful day in the garden.

  2. All so pretty!! Did you put some type of sealer on the rocks? That is such a cute idea to use the stamps! And the Artichoke ~ that's amazing, it kinda reminds of Thistle or something like that ~ I'm drawing a blank hehehe!! The perfect end to your week it seems!! Judi

  5. Wonderful idea to stamp rocks... Your agapanthus are just beautiful. I know they grow everywhere in San Diego and probably taken for granted, but here in Texas they are a special treat.

  17. A perfect day in the garden. Love the stamped rocks - will have to try that. Did you put a protection on them or just leaving them to the elements (not that you have too many in San Diego compared to our snow in Canada)

  18. What a fun idea stamping the rocks, they look very exotic - also is that beautiful thistle like flower from an artichoke? I have never seen one (or eaten one for that matter), it's beautiful.
