Make it stop!!!

If you've been following me for a while, you know that I don't do hot well.....it makes me crabby and, well, hot. It's been very hot here lately, over 90, and it's not supposed to stop for a while. I'm afraid my water bill will need to be financed. I can't let all my babies bake, ya know.

In happy news, the iris guy is back! I can now continue my obsession.....this week, he had some SDB's, and of course, they had to come home with me.....
 
 
My daylily obsession continues too, with two new additions from the local garden store. I hate to buy stuff from them, because they're overpriced and stuck up, but, how could I resist these two??
 
That's tiger blood on the left and ruby spider on the right. They were even more spectacular in person. The bloom on ruby spider was about 8". Too bad they only last for one day.
 
Just to prove my obsession is justified, here's a few more from the garden. Most of these came from the clearance rack at the garden center for $3.






 
and just to prove there's more to life than daylilies......


 
Off to water now!

going gangbusters

So, this is the third year for this garden, and it seems to be doing marvelously.....
there are some lilies, some irises, daylilies, hardy geraniums and bunnies......lots and lots of bunnies.....






This week brought a score from the clearance rack.....some Hula strawberries. They're supposed to taste like pineapple.....we'll see. There were also a couple of coreopsis and a new peony. I'm also eying a couple of peonies over at the blue box. They'll be in the rack soon.....come here my pretties.....

Today, we're re staining the deck and getting the last step ready for summer.   

More garden plans to come.
