Roses and Iris




Now it is quite warm outside during daytime and weather is very nice here in Grants Pass - the daytime temperature reaches about 80/ 85 deg F during the daytime and the night time temperature still drops down to around 50.


My roses have started to bloom and so have the iris.


The vegetable plants are also growing - the chillies and the eggplants are out in the sun.


The lemon cucumbe ris also doing pretty well.


It had an initial shock when it went out in the scorching sun but now again the faded and burnt leaves have fallen and new leaves have grown.


The only plant not getting a shock was mu Zuchinni plant - it is also doing pretty well and growing vigorously - hope will get enough Zuchinnis this summer from one plant :)


The vegetable garden is now covered with wire mesh for protection against the deer - at last I feel safe - hope they won't be able to jump above 6 ft.

Clematis


My clematis is in full bloom in my backyard - this one is placed just beside the door and the garage and just gets the morning sun and perhaps a few hours of direct sunlight - it is covered from the afternoon sun.


Doesn't it look gorgeous ?
