Flo, yesterday evening, and Jackie this morning spent a good deal of time continuing the tidying of the Rose Garden.
This morning I posted https://derrickjknight.com/2022/07/24/a-knights-tale-146-big-clean-days/
After lunch I bagged up the last of the debris from the Rose Garden and watered the raised bed at at the end of the Back Drive. Flo had watered the containers last night.
As can be seen from these photographs I produced later this afternoon the container watering has kept the garden glowing.
Super Elfin rose stretches from the Gothic arch which spans the Brick Path.
The Rose Garden had been opened up again.
Jackie was working in there for a while longer.
The lilies to the top left of this garden view reach above the potting shed.
This evening we dined on more of the Papa John’s pizzas with which Jackie and I repeated our beverages while Flo drank Mango J20
Your garden is amazing and very beautiful! You guys have Papa John’s too? They are very common around Las Vegas!
They have only recently appeared over here, and are already favourite. I always think of you when I order Mexican. Thanks very much, John
Such beautiful displays of colour.
A peaceful oasis, bursting with rainbows!

Thank you very much, Melanie X

Blooming beautiful!
Thanks very much, Cindy 🙂
The garden is glowing–so is Jackie!
The gazebo path caught my eye today.
Thank you very much, Merril
I am enjoying photographs of your glorious roses, Derrick.
For me, it’s hard to beat a nice, red geranium!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Your garden is delightful. Is it hard to keep track of the all of the different flower names?
Very hard. Even Jackie forgets some of them. Thanks very much, Pat
The hard work and tender loving care you 3 give the garden makes it glow brightly and beautifully! 🙂
I love the owl watching over the Shady Path fuchsia and day lilies! 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂 ❤️
PS…We don’t have a close Papa John’s restaurant now, but years ago they gave us a GREAT deal $$ on a bunch of pizzas for a university class. We wanted to treat the students to a free lunch and Papa John’s really pitched in to help us. College kids can eat a LOT of pizza in one sitting! HA! 🍕 🙂
Thanks very much, Carolyn. They have only recently appeared over here. X
Beautiful, beautiful! Jackie does an amazing job 🙂
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
And people don’t understand why we have so many watering cans. Container and potted plants dry out so very quickly in hot weather.
Indeed. Thank you very much, Chrissy
I do like that Mum in a Million.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
What a beautiful garden. These colors are so wonderful. Hope you and Jackie are doing good.
We are, thank you, More. Much appreciated
Jackie is so talented! Beautiful!
Thank you very much, Jill
A wonderful collection of flower photos today Derrick … would you happen to have a ‘white azalea’ bush there … that was the topic of my poem today ..
Afraid not, Ivor. Thanks very much
Your Butterfly photo is in my Coffee House Writers Magazine poems tonight
Cheers
Everything is lovely. My pathways are my favorites.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Glowing is right. The garden looks so vibrant.

Your gardens are always a visual feast of color and form, Derrick and Jackie!

Hard work pays off.

Thank you very much from us both, Eugi
You’re welcome.
The flower colors are gorgeous! Lovely shot of the lily!
Thanks very much, Dwight
Container plants have lived up to their promise of delivering big despite their small footprints. Flo appears to have joined as the new Lieutenant. The garden is in its full panoply, The Head Gardener is super content.
Thank you so much, Uma. Flo has been a great asset.
Your garden certainly is glowing. So beautiful! 🙂
Thank you very much, Nikki
So good to see the fruits of all of your labor. Your garden photos always soothe me and encourage me at the same time.
Thank you very much, Jodie
Lovely pictures of the garden as usual. I never noticed before how clean the path looked
Thanks very much, Geetha. After it had been cleaned up 🙂
Most welcome Derrick. Your posts always cheer me up, especially those with ponies, flowers and water features 🙂
Thanks again
Glowing indeed and thanks to the continued effort you all put in.
Thank you very much, Sue
Lots of watering and hard working but the garden is really glowing 🌸
Thank you very much, Ribana
