Happy forty-sixth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is "Hydrangea Tuff Stuff Top Fun." 11 years when I moved here, I redid the landscaping in the entire front of the house, planting hydrangeas, azaleas, and thousands of bulbs. I'm very happy with the result. 🌱 #hydrangea #flowers #garden

"Well, that's rich. The king of indiscretion demanding a morality clause.": Dani talking about Bill. #BeyondTheGates #BTG

Happy forty-fifth day of summer to all who celebrate. As the dog days of summer arrive, here is the "Tambourine" hosta chilling in the shade. Its flowers are slightly fragrant. It's a solid choice for shader, wetter garden areas. 🌱 #plants #flower #gardens #garden #flowers

Happy forty-fourth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is "Alfred Sisley", part of the Artists Quarter of my rose garden. Sisley was an Impressionist landscape painter. I love the striping and splotches on this rose. 🌱 #rose #flower #flowers #garden #gardens

Happy forty-third day of summer to all who celebrate. This is a new member of my dahlia garden this year. Meet "Fuzzy Wuzzy." It's unlike any of my other dahlias and I kind of dig that. 🌱 #dahlia #flower #flowers #garden #gardens

My View From Beyond the Gates by Dan J Kroll

Podcast · Dan J Kroll · It's a weekly look at all of the drama taking place on the hit CBS daytime soap opera Beyond the Gates. Forget love in the afternoon -- this is messy in the midday.

Happy forty-second day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "Carolyn Knight" rose -- and it's not in my garden. I spotted it at the David Austin garden in the UK and was immediately 😍. It appears to be a Europe only variety. If I move to France, she's coming to my house. 😆 🌱 #rose #flowers

Happy forty-first day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "South Park" rose. It arrived in a not-good state from the vendor and then didn't make it through this past brutal winter. But I refused to give up... and My patience was rewarded with the first bloom. 🌱 #rose #flowers #flower #garden

Happy fortieth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "Paris de Yves St. Laurent" rose, part of the French quarter in one of my garden beds. I chose this for the look of the flower. It has a only a slight fragrance. 🌱 #flower #flowers #garden #rose #paris

I am sure I am seeing things that are not there -- or maybe I sleepwalked into a fan fiction thread -- but I think Smitty has a thing for Jacob. #BeyondtheGates #BTG

Happy thirty-ninth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "Ultraviolet Simplicity" rose. It isn't particularly elaborate, but I love the color and the fragrance is really strong and citrusy. 🌱 #rose #flowers #flower #garden #gardens

Happy thirty-ninth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "Ultraviolet Simplicity" rose. It isn't particularly elaborate, but I love the color and the fragrance is really strong and citrusy. 🌱 #rose #flowers #flower #garden #gardens

Happy thirty-eighth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is one of my favorite roses because the coloring looks like a work of art -- so its name, "Pop Art," suits it quite well. Fragrance is medium. 🌱 🌹 #rose #flower #flowers #garden #gardens

Happy thirty-seventh day of summer to all who celebrate. A minor detour from the garden today, but with good reason. 11 years ago today, this little ball of fluff made his way into my life. He had been set free in Philadelphia and somehow found my garage. 🐰 #bunny #rabbit #bunnylove #bunnies

Happy thirty-sixth day of summer to all who celebrate. Another day, another dahlia. This is "Neo," with all its orange splendor. 🌱 #dahlia #flower #flowers #garden #gardens

Happy thirty-fifth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is one of my favorite dahlias, "Night Butterfly." The contrast of color really makes it pop. 🌱 #flower #flowers #dahlia #garden #gardens

Happy thirty-fourth day of summer to all who celebrate. These are zinnias that I grew from seeds that were gifted to me by a neighbor. I am not sure what variety it is, but I am enjoying the different hues through the bloom cycle. 🌱 #flowers #flower #garden #gardens #zinnia

Happy thirty-third day of summer to all who celebrate. This is "Darcey Bussell," one of my English roses. Taking a moment to acknowledge the passing of David JC Austin, the chairman of David Austin Roses. Their roses have brought me such happiness. 🌱 #rose #garden #gardens #flower #flowers

Happy thirty-second day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "Revolution" bicolor gerber daisy. This was another "found on the reject/clearance shelf" at a local garden center. I'm glad I took a chance on it because the bloom is beautiful. 😍 🌱 #flower #flowers #garden #gardens #daisy

Happy thirty-first day of summer to all who celebrate. Plenty of flowers have head-scratching names. This one, though, lives up to the hype. It's a reblooming daylily called "Mesmerizer." And 🤯. (This is a first-year planting for me.) 🌱 #garden #gardens #flower #flowers #lily

It's a fun park kinda day.

Happy thirtieth day of summer to all who celebrate. Ubiquitous, but still beautiful: the black-eyed Susan (rubeckia). This is part of my pollinator garden, mixing and mingling with coneflowers and bee balm and milkweed. 🌱 #flower #flowers #garden #gardens #gardeninspiration

Happy twenty-ninth day of summer to all who celebrate. I don't just have flower gardens in my yard. This is a shade garden of hostas, heuchera, astilbe, and azaleas. 🌱 More thoughts in next post/replt #garden #gardens #gardeninspiration #gardening #gardenlife

There is something incredibly fulfilling about being able to stroll out to your garden and pick the ingredients you need for the meal you're cooking.

Happy twenty-eighth day of summer to all who celebrate. My garden isn't just flowers. I also have a vineyard, orchard, and berry gardens. The blackberries have just started to ripen and they are 😋. There's some dessert making in my future. 🌱 #gardens #garden #blackberry #fruit #homegarden
