The vines are there but they just are not climbing yet. Once they start they will fill in the trellis. We keep getting more rain. It is a good problem rather than the two and a half year of drought. Thunderstorms are the norm.
The rain is taking a toll on the flowers but no water is worse. The large daylily is ragged but from the back view it still looks majestic.
The soil is so wet that the flowers are swaying and leaning to the ground. I have Russian sage that is all laying on the ground. The phlox tends to do this anyway as the flowers do make it a little top heavy in the wind. Add some rain and they do fall over.
This rose is in between bloom cycles and these strays are hanging out away from the plant.
I mowed the neighbor lady's yard just in time today. It was between the rains and right after I finished a realtor brought by a couple to see the property. The grass looked really good. I did go ahead and mowed my front yard also as it needed it. My fertilizer seems to be working well as my grass is taller and gets shaggy faster than her grass.
I am draining the granite pan from excess rainwater. I thought it had a hole in it but apparently it doesn't. I am glad it let me lay it on its side as it was very full of water.
Thanks for stopping by today.
