Pretty Jen. Boy it is hot out there. I thought I would do a little weeding but I don't see that happening this afternoon. I did spray some weed killer around the pool, walkways, driveway and patio. I don't like using it as no matter how careful I try to be it always seems I get some on a plant where I didn't want it.
Well pretty much all the impatients are dead, the petunias in the hanging baskets are shot. Lilies and iris are finished. Quite a few of the plants especially those with large leafs are filled with holes. So I am having the HGHA over for a tour in 2 weeks not too sure what they are going to see. Right now the Glads on the walkway to the GH are just beautiful but I bet they will be finished by Sept, too. I have a lovely Rose but it is the only one on all the bushes and most of them don't have any leaves either. Doesn't look too bad from a distance but up close it is a mess.
