Sunrise at Maisonvogue...Good Morning Everyone
I am for the most an early riser especially in the Summer so that I can work in my beloved garden before the temperatures soar in the heat of the day
My back deck has not disappointed me again this year
It's the little deck that just keeps giving
Most of my plants are perennials (they come back each year) and just get bigger and better
Intermingling with each other fighting for their rightful space
Saying ' Look at me! Look at me!)
And I do look at them all the time ..they bring me such joy
I am not so joyful about some of the bugs and pests we have
I hate to kill anything but I am at war with the influx of Japanese Beetles
These nasty little creatures will chew up every tender flower bud they can get their teeth in to
I just about rescued my pretty Dahlia's from them as you will see below they have some brown to the tips caused by these delightful beetles
I had to, in the end spray all the flowers on the deck ..and worry about the visiting bees that are most welcome on the deck
Having said that my flowers are still managing to make it look a little like a jungle out there
Come with me and take a look
I am very pleased with them, a welcome addition to my back deck ...I think I will try a bolder color next year ..they are also perennial so I will be able to see them each year
Have a wonderful day ...full of satisfaction, joyful moments, love and smiles
