Chunky Monkey!

 

As I sat writing my last post it was raining and drizzly.   I was sitting at my desk which overlooks the backyard.  At a distance I noticed something creeping across the yard towards one of my little garden boxes.  It disappeared for a second and then plunked itself in my zucchini bed!

 

The next thing I see is zucchini leaves flailing about  and a groundhog going to town!  I was going to run out to shoo it away but before I did I grabbed my camera and took a picture through the window (through the screen).

 

There he is on the left side board having lunch!  Chunky monkey!  Cheeky too!

 

By the time I got outside, she/he had left the scene of the crime.

With a full belly I’d say!

Summer Eye Candy – Container Gardening

Pinterest is one of my favorite places to spend a rainy afternoon.  I can get lost for hours at a time.    Since Summer is officially upon us, I thought I would share some out the summer lovelies from my Pin boards.   (You can click on the images to visit the original source.)

Some of my favorite flowers are Spring bulbs.  I love how these look in the galvanized pots.

You don’t need a piece of land to have a garden.  Container gardening can be beautiful.   Love the kettle!

You can even have a shabby garden.

If you live in an apartment, you can even garden UP!

An old door garden.

Now this one won’t fit on your deck or balcony but it’s still awesome!
