Garden report, May

the flowers:

Roses: 

 

Jacob's rose: 

Veteran's Honor: 

 

 I don't usually get roses off Teasing Georgia past Mother's Day, so I'm thrilled to still be getting blooms at the end of May.

 

I thought the Jasmine was long gone, but some is peaking out from under the roses:

 Elephant ears are popping back up in the front yard:

 I found these on clearance for my red, white and blue flower bed:

 Indian blanket is still alive:

 and so is the Hibiscus:

 

The hydrangeas are still making me very happy:

 

 

And the fruits and veggies:

 

lemon boy tomato is still going:

 

 

 I've harvested several rounds of small Roma tomatoes:

 

I'm obsessed with the blackberries:

 

We've gotten a few small bowls worth, and they are tasty.

 

The strawberries are slow going:

There are about 7 oranges currently growing on the orange tree:

 

Nothing to report on the peaches.

 

The vegetable garden took a beating during the rainstorms at the end of the month (we got several inches in a short amount of time).

 The holes the rain put in the leaves:

 I added a new pepper: orange.

It's been a week (and another rainstorm) but the corn (in the back row) is finally starting to rebound.
