It’s coming together nicely, and already looks so different than it did early this spring, especially with the addition of the pergola.

The pots by the window will hopefully provide us with tomatoes, cucumbers and limes.

I dream about having espaliered apple trees along the brick wall, but for now these morning glories are pretty. They just grew all on their own.

The ground cover plants keep filling in nicely.

Although we have our eye out for a fountain, for now this birdbath makes me smile.. One of my birthday gifts.

I didn’t get pictures of the sun perennial garden we’re working on. Here’s another birthday gift that is in the shade perennial garden.

In the front potager (kitchen) garden, we have more herbs than we know what to do with. The pole beans are already six inches taller than in this picture.

And, my favorite summertime room. This is my view every morning as I read and sip coffee. I recently hung several prisms in the windows that fill the room with tiny rainbows.
