finally......a bit of a break

This week, we had a bit of a break in the weather and it went back down to our normal 75 degree temps. It's supposed to rain today, although not nearly enough, and then by the end of the week, be back to 90. Enough already!!!

The garden is looking pretty baked, even the most tolerant things are tired. (me too!).

I did manage to shovel some more cedar chips and get pretty caught up on planting. the good news is, the clearance rack is full. All those poor little babies they've baked over the last couple of weeks. Nothing some water and a little care won't fix (unless they're just plain crispy). There's also a nursery going out of business for the season, so I had to pick up a couple of things there too...

New this week.....some $1 daylilies from lowes, a half price rose, a couple of Siberian iris, and a coneflower I just couldn't resist. I mean, who could??

I also got a great order from Maryotts daylilies (happy birthday to me), and some new iris too. There's 2 more iris orders yet to come. (they were done in February), and, well, who knows??

I'll leave with some fancy Echinacea blooming now....gotta love 'em
