GARDEN WALK WITH A SPECIAL GUEST🌞

I"m still seeing lightening bugs (fireflies) too! I was surprised that they are stil around but I'm thrilled.

@@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994 I’m seeing them between 7:00-8:00 pm. I make one last visit to the porch to view the garden (and make my mental to-do list for the next day) and that’s when I see them.

@@naphtalioffen4581 good morning 🌞. Mark enjoyed his trip to WV so much being on the river and the quaint lifestyle here on the West Fork river. Enjoyed his enthusiasm for all things plants. Where do you garden? Is it acres or a small backyard as mine? Flowers ,veggies shrubs trees such simple pleasures.

Thanks for sharing! Your garden is still looking good! Not much rain in Parkersburg the last couple weeks. Doing my best to keep things going!

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

@@rachelshepherd8099 Rachel not much rain here either a bit today early. The plants are all weary of the heat and drought. Watering is keeping them alive but not necessarily thriving. My garden as you see is really small. Are you struggling to keep your watered ?

Good morning! ☕️ Fun garden tour with your friend (I thought he looked like George Bush jr in the thumbnail LOL!!!😂) - I ❤ SF - night sound=KATYDID?? We have tons down here in Herndon, fireflies, cicadas, crickets, frogs, too

@@urchinsushi2041 I’ll share the look alike he will love it! He’d never seen a firefly and loves the night sounds. He recorded them. What’s nice is our son lives in San Fran so we see him once a year on our visits. Great friend of my sister.

@@77sun222 Sharon what a wonderful person . He loved WV perhaps he will come back winter spring and fall. I believe it will happen he did love this small town of Weston and living on the river and being able to walk everywhere and feeling safe. A delight to have him as a friend. Enjoy your weekend we received rain today and perhaps till Monday good chances . The plants respond so well to rain and cloudy . A break from the heat of the rays of the sun.
