My Flowerbed: Scribble Picnic
This week on Scribble Picnic the prompt is “flowerbed”. We are away on holidays so I did a quick sketch and watercolour pencils painting of a few of the flowers in our flowerbed before I left.
This year our plants have suffered from so much rain. But still my garden grows. My vegetable garden isn’t doing as well. Beans and kale are great. But alas no tomatoes – way too wet.
But there’s always next year.
How does your garden grow?
Here are the photos I used:

nicely done with the watercolors
Hope you are enjoying your travels!
Coneflowers are so interesting and pretty.
lovely colours 🙂 too much rain here to, weeds are loving it tho :p
Hope your holiday goes well and you get to return in time to do ourthe “fill in the blank” which starts with an “X” touching the corners within a square! I wonder what you would/will do for that? 🙂
Your garden is surviving and some even thriving no doubt, but, no, no tomatoes! but the ones you show are colourful too …as you like! 🙂 As for your question: we rent and not owning the home or yard are not at liberty to plant yachting.
Janis, what a great combination of your flower photos. This is pretty and I love how you captured the ones that have lost a few pedals. 🙂
wow, you have too much rain and we have a drought and many wildfires.
Your drawing is lovely. Now a memory of your garden.
We have had too much rain as well, but the worst thing that happens is I have to mow my lawn more often. The flowers, on the other hand, seem to be doing well and the tomatoes abound. Your flower garden is lovely … I love cone flowers and especially love seeing them growing in a prairie. Lovely art, Janis …

Sadly, our vegetable garden is all but non-existent this year. Only a couple of tomato plants that went in late. Your flowers look lovely. Such great inspiration photos too!
I like the colors – the violets and red hues. lovely take on the theme.
have a lovely day.
Very nice flower bed.
I hope you are having a lovely holiday, Janis. We usually have the opposite here… not enough rain. You have a pretty garden of flowers but unfortunate that the tomatoes have suffered. I always thought they liked a lot of water…maybe different climates. Nice take in the theme this week.
Lovely flower bed. Hope you are enjoying your holidays. We usually have the opposite problem here, everything is perishing from heat or drought by June.
very nice Janis! I thought water would be good for plants, but I guess too much is a problem then.
