So, there we are, we have finished the first two month os the Susan’s Garden Project. I have to wonder at this point if I have enough images to complete all three hundred and sixty five pictures. Well, we shall see.
The text is generally from the corresponding Facebook post although I have cleaned them up a little.
Day 64 and the beauty just never ends. It is a single garden but every day the plants are different, the flowers are different, the light is different. Always new beautiful pictures every day.
13th of June and it is Day 65 of the Susan’s Garden Project. A garden provides endless opportunities for pictures. This project is great because it gets me looking at images I took years ago and have long since forgotten.
June 15th is Day 67. I am enjoying this series of pictures. It has me searching through my old files and looking at images I had totally forgotten about. They are all taken around our house and in Susan’s Garden. This is a portrait of a daisy I took several years ago.
Day 68. This looks like a composite photo but it is just the way the camera saw it in the garden. It was after a rain shower and the rose was standing there, wet, with a background of yellow daisies.
Day 66 is 14th of June and this is an admission I should not make. But, I guess every garden has one. This is ours. It is the only one I remember in all these years.
Day 69 is the 17th of June. The colors and shapes of the blossoms in the garden are endless and very beautiful. And each year there are new flowers. The opportunities for pretty photos are endless.
Day 70. The flowers can also yield kaleidoscopic images and patterns. This is the inside of a tulip blossom – or maybe an image from a kaleidoscope? It is June 18th.
What is it about roses? They are beautiful, romantic, and all over Susan’s garden. Even in the rain they are beautiful. It is the 19th day of June and it is Day 71.
Day 72. Flowers close up are wonderful too. The shapes, the shadows, the subtle colors can make for incredible images.
Day 73. From the backyard grass there is a staircase leading up into Susan’s garden where the vegetables live. On the stairs she has pots with hot peppers growing and there are flowers along the walls on both sides. It is really very magical.
Day 74. The staircase up into Susan’s garden is not our only staircase. Along the side of the house from the front yard to the back yard there are these stairs which Susan also uses for pots. Here she grows tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers as well as roses and others flowers.
June 23rd is Day 75 of the Susan Project. Today was a beautiful sunny day, the air was warm, the plants had that special sweet smell you find in a garden. I found this in the berry patch. Actually, I found a whole bowl full of these!
Susan’s garden is an endless swirl of shapes and color highlighted by the sun. There are pictures everywhere you look. These pictures remind me of the pleasure walking in a garden brings. It is June 24th and day 76.
June 25th and it is Day 77 of the Susan’s Garden Project. Susan has Baby’s Breath in some of her planters. They are not the double blossom variety but just singles. But they form a white cloud over the containers. Very pretty.
Day 78 is June 26th. With all these pictures of fruit and vegetables it is easy to lose sight of the garden as a whole. Today I went up to the back of the property and took this picture of the garden and back yard.
Susan does not keep track of the names of the rose varieties she has. She gets them from clippings, as gifts from friends, and even buys the on one. But to her they are all just roses. And there are lots of them! June 27th and Day 79!
We have lots of fuchia in the yard. There are single blossoms that come every year by themselves and there are the double blossoms like these that come in hanging baskets around the patio. What a wonderful flower! Day 80.
It is June 29th and Day 81 of the Susan’s Garden Project. We have a clematis vine that comes back every year and it is regularly covered in a mass of blossoms. This picture was taken a few days ago and you can see what I mean.

1st of July and it is Canada Day and Day 83 of the Susan’s Garden Project. This Spring, and every other spring, we have tulips everywhere in the garden. They are wonderful with the sun shining through their petals.
I don’t know the names of all of the flowers Susan has in her garden but they are still full of wonder. Day 84.
July 3rd and it is Day 85 of the Susan’s Garden Project. Along the side of the house we have a patio where our Madinna dei Fiori stands. I have built boxes for Susan where she plants tomatoes along the wall. The wall is south facing and gets full sun all afternoon. The tomatoes she gets are fantastic.
Day 86. Every year beside the garden shed in the upper garden the Calla Lillies come back. She does not plant them. They look after themselves just fine and have been doing so for at least twenty years.

The Susan’s Garden Project has been broken into Posts covering only two months of the year each. You can jump to other Sections using the buttons bellow. Well, that supposes those pages have been prepared. If they are yet to be done the buttons will do nothing.
