Don't look that closely at my photos, anybody! You are sure to find weeds. But there are lots of pretty blooms out there, too! Hopefully we'll get a little break from the humidity so i can get some garden maintenance done, but meanwhile I'm just going to wander around and watch the birds & butterflies.

Happy, have I mentioned Yellow Oxeye to you? Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra, tall & tough, blooms early summer until frost. I think several of us have it now, because it's an easy winter sower, but you could also get an older clump or two from me, because I need to thin my "stand" of it (to make room for some other things!).

I need a list of what's "out there" in my pots, too... and an actual planting plan, maybe, although I have a general idea of where a lot of it will go.
