Lilies are the leading ladies of the landscape during July. Other showy growers right now: squash and cukes, plus tomato plants growing like, well, weeds, though not many of us have seen anything red yet.<\/p>\n

Your photos from the past week came from Schroon Lake, Plattsburgh, Tupper Lake Junction, Keene and parts unknown but definitely on NCPR’s landscape.<\/p>\n

Here’s a gallery of gorgeous photos from flower and vegetable gardens sent in by NCPR friends.<\/p>\n

Ken and Barb Adams garden in Plattsburgh. Flowers abound.<\/p>\n

Many of you know George DeChant’s photographs from his contributions to our Photo of the Day feature. I’m assuming these garden photos were taken in his hometown of Saranac Lake.<\/p>\n
