We have had dry hot weather so unusual for us. In the 70-90 with clear skies and no rain to speak of. It would be perfect gardening weather in the early morning but a crushed vertebrae has taken much of the joy out of gardening. So frustrating. My two grandsons came over and did some 'heavy lifting' for which I will be forever grateful. I feed them so they love it. They dug up a bed that grass had invaded and sifted the soil to put it back amended with compost, pea gravel, manure. I changed out the plants going back in a little for some variety. My delphs have always been so good along the fence but this year they are just not doing well. I have bought a few new plants that do well in our botanical garden although they have a woodland look so more shade and the soil is cooler.

Vegies are thriving though. And I can putter around doing things if I take it easy.
