Dog Days.....

[mdehners]

Never understood the phrase till I moved to Florida and Tennessee definitely reinforces it;>! It's hard to keep up with the Weeding and Deadheading when it's a steambath by 0930.
Some things I WAS going to deadhead like the Sanguisorbas are actually beginning to reflush on stems I thought were nothing but seedheads. And things I wa going to leave like the Spent Echinaceas I did. The Persecarias are starting their late Summer show though the Pink form of the usual ornamental species has finished.
I was really impressed with the Dara but the Deer came through and munched them and my neighbor's Hostas. There's a heed in our neighborhood and most of this week they've been at the end of our road because the storm we had knocked down a number of branches in their Apple trees...and this week with the heat they're Fermenting. Drunk Deer iare something you do not want along the roads. Esp how folks really consider speed limits "Suggestions".....
Cheers,
Pat

Ugh drunk deer!

I need to be weeding, and I need to do another round of cutting saplings in the yard, but the weather is indeed awful.

I know! I forced myself to plant the last 3 plants I needed to get in just now and I'm dripping all over the keyboard;>. Right now the Persicarias are going gangbusters and the Japanese Anemones are just starting to open. I don't care about their invasiveness. I'm getting more kinds next Spring!
Cheers,
