A climbing hydrangea planted in a shady spot by the side gate is blooming this year.

One of the potted canna lilies has an interesting blossom.

A clump of "black" lilies by the back patio.


(07:07:2025)

The borage is starting to bloom. It seeds itself and has to be "weeded" back to keep it contained, but the bees love it.


(07:07:2025)
More daylilies are blooming now.


(07:07:2025)

Another daylily.


(07:07:2025)
Only a few of the poppies are this salmon pink even though I save seeds every year.


(07:07:2025)

This orange is the "common" daylily that likes to spread and has to have some removed every couple of years.

A cucumber climbing its support wires and starting to bloom.

In the front yard, near all the red lilies, a tall orange one is starting to bloom. There is also one beside the back patio near the black ones.

You know it's summer when the lace hydrangea blooms.


(09:07:2025)
We have a small row of decorative purple grass near our front gate sign. It has started to bloom!

A closer look at those dainty flowers.

Wait a couple of days and there are more new lilies blooming.


(11:07:2025)
This is a brighter red than the earlier reds.


(11:07:2025)

And another two-tone.


(11:07:2025)

Our first ripe tomato of the season! This is on a plant grown from Red Profusion seeds sent to us by Sheila's sister two years ago.

Don't worry - there will be lots more - note the green ones behind it. This plant is loaded!


(12:07:2025)

The first of the Glad's have started to bloom. (in the back)

The two that budding are 'last years' bulbs, and not much of a show. They had been left in the ground over winter.


(13:07:2025)

Two days later and the Canna is a much better show!
