Great gardening day yesterday! I laid cardboard out for a new garden bed and puttered around weeding, deadheading, trimming, amending, planting, transplanting, watering. Finally got everything planted from Behnke's and tried out my new tools.

A few photos from roll call this morning.

1) My nandina is so close to blooming. It didn't bloom at all last year so this feels like a milestone for it. :-)
2) My first hosta bloom of the season--'Blue Mouse Ears'
3) My parsley has gone to town this summer. The buds have just sort of stayed greenish. Is that normal?
4) My first monarda bloom of the season--'Coral Reef'.
5) The mini rose my neighbor gave me several weeks ago has put out its first bloom
