Random Saturday
In spite of an average four days of rain for every one of sun and the this year incessant interest from the moose (I chased off a cow and two calves with my car a couple of days ago), #inmygarden 2026 is not a total loss.

In spite of the rain that fell straight through the Fourth of July weekend…

I was weeding yesterday and the worst news is the death of six of the seven geranium magnificums and two of the four red rocket barberrys, among other losses. But the good news is that much of the garden survived the record low temperatures with no insulating snowpack of this horrible winter and interminably windy,…

Yeah. It’s been a spring. Which got here just in time for summer. Vide: The whole yard is hunched down against the ground, whimpering. I can hear all the flowers saying, “Really? It’s not going to drop below freezing again? You’re sure? You’re really, really sure?”

I was hoping Mr. Walter Faxon would bloom while the firewitch were still going strong! The middle shot is a close up for your viewing pleasure. And of course the daylily, which started out as one plant, a gift from Rita Jo, and then got so big it had to be divided and now has…

The Tiny Bee asiatic lilies make it into full bloom after five (six?) years of trying. The daylily (one of six that came from dividing the first one) is about to kaboom. The globe thistles are farther along than they’ve ever been before at this time of year, including the two I had given up…

From left: The weirdest flower #inmygarden every year, the allium, one of seven (Seven! Six of which come from one division two years ago of the first one I planted) geranium magnificums blooming fit to bust, and the lady’s mantle (swipe in to see how it collects the dew on its leaves). The rugosa rose…
