Welcome to our LakeHouse Gardens here at Tuesday Tidbits!
Our Spring flowers have given way to the Summertime Blooms.
The Black Eyed Susan’s, Daisies and Coneflowers have enjoyed the rain and heat.
Lilies are in full bloom! These Orange Double Lillie’s were planted by my mother 40+ years ago.
And when my red Lillies bloom… they make me smile…
A new flower that I planted in the Spring is just now blooming… Phlox! I’m glad it enjoys where I planted it.
And look at the Lime Lights! They are showing off!
Our gardens make the bees happy…
However, they make the Japanese Beetles happy too. They have devoured my yellow Buttercups. Grrr…! Here they are in happier times…
We not only have flowers growing nicely but Sweet Man’s tomatoes are coming in nicely as well.
Pretty soon we will be having tomato sandwiches!
These Hosta blooms are a deep purple and contrast well with the green foliage in the background.
They are near our back patio…
All these blooms make beautiful summer bouquets!
We just love our gardens here at the LakeHouse… and so do the frogs and bunnies.
Now can we have a drumroll please………………..
My first Zinnias have bloomed!
I planted 6 seed packets… many were eaten early on or later devoured by the dreaded Japanese Beetles. But I will have a few! Hallelujah!
I love Zinnias! I had a container garden of Zinnias in Arizona. You can see them at our Arizona Home.
How are your gardens doing? Are you struggling with Japanese Beetles, more so, this year? What’s blooming in your gardens? I would love to hear. Thanks so much for enjoying another Tuesday Tidbits…
Until Next Time ~Nancy
What beautiful gardens you have. I think this kind of environment can be so therapeutic. Your lovely photos were a treat to see this morning. Thank you for sharing them. Have a wonderful day. ☺
I am sooo happy you took a stroll with me through our cottage gardens! Thank you so much for your kind words! Stop back again!
Your garden beauty has made it easier for me to get set for my Tuesday workday at the library, Nance. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad it made your Tuesday better! 😊

Right back at you!
I love your garden! You must enjoy spending time there with all the gorgeous blooms. My zinnias are growing like crazy as long as they get enough water.
Oh lucky you! Yes gardening is therapeutic. However when the weeds become a jungle then it becomes anger management! Lol!
Beautiful! What a lovely flower garden and those tomatoes will be delicious. I was recently in Duluth where they have some wonderful gardens and I was so excited to see a variety of Hosta’s. I haven’t seen Hosta’s in years and I’m loving all the flowers. 🌺🌻🌹
It’s a different kind of landscape out here. We have several kinds of Hostas out here. They are easy to divide and make more. My sister has given me lots of different varieties!
I see you are having fun in Wisconsin! I hope you come back to AZ!
Oh trust me, I will definitely return to AZ to dry out 😆 But we’re having a great summer, much more so than we ever envisioned.
Nancy, what a lovely stroll through your gorgeous gardens this morning! Coneflowers, daisies, lilies, limelights, zinnias, tomatoes, and all of the other beauties seem to be thriving. I am always amazed when you point out a bloom from a plant that your mother put in the ground forty years ago…AMAZING! The blooms on your hosta are the prettiest I have ever seen! Wishing you a most lovely day my friend!
Pam I always am so happy to share my gardens with you. You have the most loveliest gardens and I think about you often when I garden. Thank you for strolling along with me. 😊
How beautiful!!! I’m enjoying the flowers on my deck- they make me smile:)
Flowers give us a sense of calm. Gardening is very therapeutic! Until the weeds come! 😀
Lol I love pulling weeds when I’m frustrated- very cathartic
I think I agree with that. Until it becomes a jungle of weeds. Lol!
Oh true! My grandma used to love when it was a weedy mess as she says she could see improvement quickly. Not sure I agree though
Nancy I have plant envy. Every where you turn there are beautiful flowers….and bees. How sweet. I adore zinnias and I adore all your lovely gardens. Hugs and thanks for sharing so we can enjoy too.
I am so glad you enjoyed our summer flowers Kari! Happy Week to you!
Beautiful blooms. Lots of work and love. C. Xx

Perennials last a lifetime! As long as they are cared for and the weather cooperates!
