It's been too hot too soon. Then yesterday was so much cooler, I felt like I needed a sweater.
I'm trying to keep up with my watering to make the perennials happy and to settle in my new Cercis canadensis 'Merlot'. The grass is on the way to "beige" in some spots.
The veggie garden is beyond crazy. I still haven't had a tomato to eat yet. I'm a good month behind, but getting there!
Enjoy all the blooms!

ReplyDeleteThanks Ricki - After seeing all the fabulous gardens on the Fling, I've felt like my garden isn't looking so great. The early heat hasn't helped either.
DeleteWe dare not compare ourselves to THOSE gardens.
