Hold the Heat, Please!

No more complaints about the cold!  I believe the heat index( heat plus humidity) is supposed to reach 100 + today.
lambs ear humelo- really like this plant, always looks good.

butterfly weed is doing great this year- I added some more.


the circle is in bloom- the prairie clover is hidden  by the overwhelming mexican hat coneflower

look for the red cherries-we actually got to eat about 30 of them.  Really good with sugar and a little brandy-let sit for half hour-serve over icecream!

Peas gone wild

Larry's sunflowers

our new porch, patio, and pergola

PPP. wrapup- a little more stain..

Larry's great raised bed

PPP wrapup with garden bed in front

added another dephinium since it seems to be surviving the dry, rocky soil.
Interesting observations on the growing season:  Snap Peas grow in cool weather and in heat but maybe toughen up a bit at the end of their life cycle, or because of the heat?  Still picking the snap.  What happened to the Hyssop?  Last summer's Hyssop was overly abundent, this summer barely there-maybe lack of snow cover?
more photos after the heat wave!
