the weather was perfect for gardening today. no heat, no humidity and very little sunshine. we couldn't have asked for a better morning to work on the beds. my thanks to katrina and nancy for coming out today, but katrina will have to hang out a little later to help us with breakfast!
we enjoyed fresh baked cheese and chive scones today.
while working in the perennial garden, darry found this beauty. a black and yellow garden spider (argiope aurantia), she was hanging out in her web enjoying a little breakfast! don't you just love the zig-zag running through the web. her mate made that design for her and then she most likely killed him! you go girl!!!
another shot of the lady and her web.
the main garden and some of the herb beds. it still looks great even though the summer is drawing to a close.
another plant(black eyed susans-rudbeckia) in the rain garden succumbed to the dreaded southern blight! nancy and i dug it out, removed some of the soil around it and tossed it into the trash. it is spread by water and we did have some rain this week so i hope we can stop the spread but it is likely to show up again.
not much else to report, come on out for a visit and see what we have done this year.
