Memories of Our Second Summer - the Kitchen Deck






Well, we bought a nice wooden patio set for the deck during our second summer here. It's served us well during all our bbq's and outdoor parties.
The flowers we planted up this year were in shades of blue, purple, orange, yellow and white. Among the plants we planted were: orange African daisies, calendula, sweet alyssum, lobelia, marigold, hydrangea, morning glory, pansies, violas, licorice and coleus. Herbs that graced our table were rosemary, basil, chives, mint, thyme oregano, parsley and green onions.
Everything grew really nicely until around the end of July when we were hit with a few weeks of extreme heat.
