Our garden is in full bloom and I’m loving it! I’m truly a summer girl, and when all the flowers are blooming and the fruit is starting to ripen, I’m in my glory. And so are my kids! It’s heavenly.
Here’s a quick video tour of our 2017 flower, fruit and vegetable garden with some of the plants that we find grow well here near Edmonton. If you’re also in North America, that’s zone 3. Welcome to our garden!

July 11, 2017 at 8:04 amIt always tickles me pink to see your garden since you and I live in the same area and I totally get what it’s like to garden in a harsh – but very beautiful – climate. Your spinach looks amazing! Mine was out on our south facing deck and was doing well until the heat wave and then it got sun scorched. Sigh. At least I got a couple of harvests out of it. Thanks for sharing your lovely garden!

I live in Zone 9 and it’s really too warm for peonies and good rhubarbo or blueberries. We have lots of roses though. I loved your peonies and the catmint and of course the pink roses. I also love Therese Bugnet. So much fragrance in those rose petals!
Thanks so much for sharing.
