Bo Bo can live in his pot in the back yard for a couple of weeks till it is cooler and we can get psyched up for planting on the side hill!

The last of the lily blossoms are gone, so it's time to remove the deer fencing. The upgrade this year sure looked better than previous incarnations but took much longer to set up and take down than the old versions.

We thought the Rose of Sharon had a lot of blossoms last week!

(27:08:2022)

The bees love it.

(27:08:2022)
One of the cucumber plants is finally blooming, and even setting little cucs!

(27:08:2022)

There are still some snap dragons.

One geranium plant in the lily bed.

There are still begonias blooming in the back yard.

(27:08:2022)
Our one dahlia now has three blossoms.

The lettuce starts we showed you week before last were all eaten by something. They were replanted and a "deer wire" cage put around them. They were eaten again by something small enough to get through the wire. So Allan is using some finer wire to make a cage to go around a new set of plants.

Here we go again - this is the third set of lettuce plants, and this time there is a "trip hazard" nearby.

(27:08:2022)

One plant in a different location was left alone, so two more have been added there, but there is no more fine wire to protect them..

(27:08:2022)
Back in the front yard - we have some purple Salvia.

(27:08:2022)

This Coleus appears to love its location by the yucca.

(27:08:2022)
We added some new Dusty Miller this year.

(27:08:2022)

Another kind of Salvia and a small mum adding some colour near the street.

(27:08:2022)
The Lace Hydrangea has both new blossoms and many that are already finished and turning pink.

(27:08:2022)

There are still some Crocosmia. They are brighter than they appear here.

(27:08:2022)
A trailing flower that we put at the edge of the herb bed at the top of the slope by the west side of the house.

Another Coleus and the cranes guarding the bird bath in the back yard.
