I've had a few more Monarchs arrive in the yard and collected several eggs today. The milkweed is scarce and not too healthy. I've pruned a few back to hopefully provide newer leaves for the butterflies in the next month or two.
I'm still on the path of more shade and maybe more shrubs. I wish I was feeling more love for the garden but most of the time I only see work to be done! I need to come up with a manageable plan, that includes the limitations of the Maple tree's roots, and then put that plan into action.

| pale pole beans-fertilize? |

| needs some work, cranesbill? |
 |
| sturdy little coneflower, Kismet! |

| The first time the bunnies decided to go after the bush beans, which are doing well! |
I don't want to plant too much if the drought and high heat continues.
We are going into another heatwave this weekend, but nothing compared to what has been happening in the Northwest, Oregon, Washington, B.C. Still it is hard on the garden and hard on the farmers.
