We have been having heavy humidity and the nights are filled with cloud cover keeping from finding the moon.
I planted some spare seed from the past in one of my planters. I have another color of morning glories, finally after all the time it has been planted. It seems to be a little beat up but it has great color.
I picked them as they started to turn. The excess rain is causing splits in one of my varieties. This variety is one that is going to go ripe all within a few weeks. In some ways they have been slow in their ripening. I should have paid closer attention to the varieties that I bought but I do know I didn't want any of the larger varieties. I think the markers are out there underneath the grass mulch.
A new garden of hosta is developing for me in a good way. I planted the ledge next to my new backyard gate. I just filled it in as it made sense to put them there rather trying to get grass to grow there. I leave my hoe out there for my neighbor lady to use when she visits her home while it it is still up for sale. Her weeds grow in her raised beds where they grew vegetables. I offered to do the job but she insists that she wants to do it herself.
My dianthus were slow in getting established in my front flower garden bed. I was surprised to see them blooming so well this past week.
Heat and humidity continues in our area. I should say high heat but I think most people know we call it heat. Our trip from the car to the church was amazing and it was typical Iowa weather. The weather people say we are going to cool down a bit but it doesn't seem like it has. I can the yards are now being affected
Thanks for stopping by today.
