And the Sun Came Out

That title may seem a little strange, but really, for the last 15 days or more, the sun has probably been out 2 of those days. It has been an amazing time around here with all the rain. Plus with the rain, it looks like we are going to have one of those summers with higher than normal amounts of mosquitoes. Oh joy! But I'm careful not to gripe too much about the rain, because one day soon, it will stop for a very long time, I'm sure. Anyway, not too long ago, I was able to transplant some plants in a more permanent location and some of them seem to be loving it. I have 3 beds around the house and I have split the plants between those locations to see where they do the best. That may not be the best plan, but I'm still learning about our area's climate and what works best in the Texas sun. I still have several plants that I need to find a location for, but hopefully I will.

So far, the coreopsis' seem to be doing the best. They are really blooming and the colors look so cool. Actually, I guess you could say they look warm. The plants in all 3 beds seem to be blooming really well. Most sun-loving plants like these seem to want full sun all day. All the beds that these are in do not get sun all day. The picture here is a bed on the south side of the house that gets the most sun which is probably around 6 hours total. We will see what happens.

This Salvia seem to be doing well and it has a little flower on it.

The biggest thing I'm excited about is my grapes. Have you ever seen baby grapes? Well, I haven't, but now we have them. This grape vine is about 3 years old and this is the first year I have seen any fruit. It has at least 4 bunches coming in. This vine is on the west side of the house. I hope they are able to mature before anything gets them.
I hope you have enjoyed this little update. I will show more hopefully in the near future.
