High Spring and Summer

Welcome to the High Spring and Summer Gallery.  The photos here show my garden’s hot weather bloomers in full-on flower-power mode.  As always, I’ll be adding pics here on a regular basis, and you’ve got a standing invitation to check out what’s new.  I do hope that you’ll visit again soon.  In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy these shots.  Cheers, and Happy Gardening!

Espoma Organic Plant-tone.  I am a huge fan of Espoma’s line of organic fertilizers.  Plant-tone is the one I use for the majority of the plants in my garden.  It’s got an N-P-K ratio of 5-3-3 and is a great all-purpose organic fertilizer.  It works perfectly for an incredibly wide variety of ornamental plants.  Again, Espoma Organic Plant-tone is the food that a huge number of my plants get.  They love it, and it shows.  I highly recommend Plant-tone for helping out with your own garden scenes.  You can order this product here, directly from Amazon, by clicking the #advertisement link.
