First harvest in the Northern Garden

Last week was very rainy. The weather turned bad and the temperature dropped.
My white rose Margaret Merrill was not resistant to rain, and some of its buds were dark.
 





  


  
 


  



The park red rose "Boys' Brigade" and 
the polyanthus pink rose "The Fairy"  feel great!




















The berries, apples, vegetables ripen despite the cool weather and rain. 
 


  










Redcurrant berries have already matured, it is necessary to collect them soon!
 


Blackcurrant berries become larger and tastier.



Strawberry ripens too, turns red quickly, 
it needs a little heat and it becomes sweet.  
I gathered the first harvest of strawberries. 










 





   





In my greenhouse tomatoes grow slowly, they are still green.  
The hostas began to blossom with their blue and white bells..






















The apples are still small, they are getting red and ripen very quickly.
 

 July, evening, it's so beautiful to look at the sky after working day in the garden!

Mid-July Blooms





Sun and rain, all flowers and plants are growing by leaps and bounds.
I catch my camera in the morning and try to take pictures of everything that blooms in this day.
 



Dicentra white and blue thalictrum, rogersia,  herbaceous and tree peonies, crown anemones, and of course, my favorite roses floribundas. 
So I share with you my photos of plants in these summer days in mid-July.



                                                    

Now I have to do with vegetables and berries, because strawberry is already ripe!

New Generation




New summer 

New water in a river, new generation of birds 

We walked along the river bank and watched this new life. 

The movement of water and the trees and bushes reflection was spectacular.



There were Horned Grebe bird, ducks and fighting ducklings.

A grasshopper's chirring in the coastal grass.





Summer days, all rejoiced the warmth and the sun light.


 Nature surprises and I want to have the memory of every moment.
