it has been a busy week for us and i never did get a chance to update the everyone with all of the photos i have taken. we were joined in the garden on 7/26 by cherri and the three of us made some headway with weeds. these are some of the photos of what was going on in the garden, the second section of photos is all mushrooms! the rain has brought all kinds of things out in the garden!
i am a participant in the great sunflower project and this is one of the plants i use to count bees. when i took this photo on 7/26, it was getting ready to bloom and i was excited to see how tall it had gotten, about 8 feet. unfortunately, some inconsiderate jerk cut off the top and most likely the largest bloom and i never got to see it after it opened!
the remaining blooms that have opened, today it took me only 10 minutes to count the 5 bees visiting the flowers.
so pretty and when it is done, the goldfinches will have seeds to eat
beautiful sage
mmm...basil
zinnias
perennial garden
jim miles bee nectar garden-it is so full of bees and butterflies that you almost think we stock it like a fish pond

more cosmos
the last photo i took on 7/26, our main attraction-the rain garden, isn't it beautiful?the fungus among us in the garden...
they will grow anywhere
in the junior master gardeners bed with the basil
the day lilies had some in the bed and some on the bed
these were in the bed of day lilies, they are a pretty lavender color
along the banks of the stream bed in the rain garden
come on out and join us some time, who knows what we will find next.
