after enduring a week of no phone/internet because of storm damage, i am happy to say that i am once again on line! the garden looks great and this week we were joined by nancy; we pigged out on warm from the oven zucchini cake as we worked in the garden.
the crown jewel in the edible flower bed, our lemon queen sunflower plant which is part of the great sunflower project.
when i sat down to do the count this week, there were at least 30 flowers in bloom and all kinds of bees flying around the plant.

this junior master garden bed is chock full of flowers, herbs and egg plants.
all of the junior beds look great this year
beautiful sages in the herb wheel garden
echinacea, white swan, in the rock garden
the angel trumpet vine is planning to take over the garden. if you listen carefully you'd swear it was saying FEED ME SEYMORE, FEEEEED MEEE!!! (think little shop of horrors...)
chive blossoms are beautiful
spectacular grasses in the grass garden are ready to send out their plumes.
liriope, so pretty, so invasive. a true double edged sword...
