July In The Garden



This made me laugh I have this cucumber growing up a trellis. It looks like it is hanging on for dear life.
I am still getting a handful of ripe blueberries a day. Every few days I make muffins, recipe to follow.

Garden flox but the humid weather has taken a toll on the stems and leaves.
This is a moss growing on rocks,so interesting!

Zinnia from seed (cut and come again)
This is a half recipe from King Arthur Flour.
Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins
****
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 1/4 cup of blueberries.
Crush the 1/4 cup of BB into dough. Add 1 cup of BB
Makes 6 muffins
Bake at 375 for 25 to 30 min.
I sprinkled a bit of sugar on the top before baking to give it a crunchy top
                                   ENJOY!

Progress on my rug. We have had some really lovely days. I have used the evenings to hook a bit. 
                     ******
Have a wonderful week♡

A local farm recently posted the blueberries there are ready for picking.
Thank you for the recipe.

Our phlox were taken out by the heat and dry conditions!

Is the cucumber a volunteer or was it planted there? I have moss on my bricks and rocks and yours looks way different, almost like a mushroom and moss cross breed. Your rug is gorgeous!

Your gardens look lovely. You are much further ahead than we are here - no echinacea or phlox blooming here yet. I might give the muffin recipe a try - it seems quite different than the one I use. Mine is a recipe from my home ec class in middle school that I have tweaked a bit. My niece made muffins from it and entered them in our local fair and got first place...and someone stole the recipe to boot. LOL. We've had some beautiful summer days here too this past week...before we only got to 70º for a high at best. Someone said we're heading for the 80's by the end of the coming week.

Happy Sunday to you....flowers are beautiful, love the echinacea. I'm anxious to make some blueberry muffins. Hope to get some this week.
Thanks for your help Cathy.❣️

Your garden is beautiful. I love your rug. Its so nice. I am glad you are getting to work on it. Thank you for the recipe. I was checking my freezer today and I can't believe how many bags of blueberries I have frozen this summer.

That's a really ambitious rug. I also grow zinnias from seed for cutting. They're very obliging.

I was going to look for a blueberry muffin recipe tomorrow. Thank you for this!

Your flowers look great and that moss is very cool.
Oh, we desperately need rain. My lawn is turning that lovely shade of crunchy brown 😩
