A walk for minor clean up and photo ops.
The shed looks a bit shaggy but the black eyed Susan’s are starting their show. There is still some purple and pink to be seen.
The hydrangea by the pool has regrown after the major pruning this spring. No blooms lost.
Lastly, some fruits of labor. Corn, melons, peppers and tomatoes are coming in. As are the marigolds. So many marigolds…
The hot, transitional period from late spring flowers to summer has passed and color is once again outside.
The cone flowers are stealing the show, with the tall phlox adding to the mix. I transplanted 8 come flowers that were spreading beyond their borders, both out front and on the well garden.
The well garden is a bit lopsided. Moving the light pink phlox to the other side of the hydrangea tree should balance it out.
Day lilies are blooming in all of their shades.
The pots out back have been updated with purples and pinks, with a splash of orange.
The pool is still blooming well, despite the hot conditions. I am still pleased with the choice of plants around the water.
More warm days ahead but things are looking good.
Unplanned but not unwelcome. The sunflowers are back.
