Garden Notes

The good news is, the garden is coming along. The phlox, liatris and echinacea are all blooming, and we’ve gotten a decent amount of rain, so everything is looking pretty lush. The bad news is, we’ve gotten a decent amount of rain, so the phlox, liatris and echinacea have all come in sideways, due to the all the water spilling down in the garden. I also haven’t had time recently to go in and neaten things up, so things are getting a little weedy. I am resolved sometime in the next week to go down either early in the morning or later in the evening and straighten the side bed out.

The back bed is looking pretty good. The hostas are getting chewed a little more than I’d like, but the coleus and begonias have filled in quite nicely.
