I tend to go out when it is just past sunset and start taking photos. I bought a little 6 pack of assorted color petunias and planted them in a pot near my mailbox.
I staked some of my spindly tomato plants yesterday, the volunteer Sungold mostly. They will become big heavy plants so I thought they needed some help.
A quick rain storm went through in the middle of the afternoon yesterday and when I went out to check the rain gauge I saw a lot of blooms on the Yellow Coneflower.
Only one tenth of an inch of rain, but I'm happy for at least that much.
The plant is small, maybe a little over 12" tall and very sturdy. It doesn't get much of the rain, being so close to the house but it does well in spite of that. I do water it occasionally when we are in a long dry spell.
I showed this volunteer Tiger Lily growing in the crack between the sidewalk and the steps a while ago and I'm going to pull it out when it is done blooming.
My front garden is very neglected as I deal with my sciatica and back problems. I pull a few weeds each time I'm out, but it needs a lot more work.
I have company stopping by today on their way through this area. I might get some more 16 patch blocks sewn tonight. Tomorrow will be my second PT session.
