Haven't had time to set down at the Garden Guides... to busy gardening.

    I love July In Montana, and since all the rain it is still green. We have been going to the mountains the last couple of weekends. Just playing. The hill sides are covered with flowers.Always take my book with me and see how many wildflowers I can name. We still have snow on the tops ,which we haven't had for a few years. The water is still running high and the dams and lakes are filling again.

      Everthing in the yard is blooming, I seen I have a few rasberrys on my new plants. And the roma tomatoes are prduceing, they are so cute. I have had to prune alot of my trees, I didn't notice till now but I had a lot of damage with that last snow storm. The splits in the branches did'nt show till the leaves got so heavy to finish pulling them down.

  The pond plants have  finally  reach there height and filled in.I need to move a few plants that are not doing so well now because of the shade from the apple tree.

 Finished painting  the house.Got the dry creek bed in my new project, The quaking ash have grown 3 inches already. And the wild flowers are in full bloom ...awesome. I have this mountain meadow garden in my minds eye and it is hard for any one else to see any thing but a mess.  I am stuck till Jim tears down the old tin shed, he is not too fond of this, and I am having a hard time motivating him. LOL. .

My zukes are growing like crazy but no fruit yet, I have a potatoe growing in the compost pile. It will  be fun to see if it grows spuds. The alfalfa is growing good. I will be able to cut and dry it soon for tea . I have never done this before. Interesting!!!

 Happy Planting Kerryh
