Its actually very nice around here. Lovely weather fo gardening. Wouldn't matter if it wasn't. I work out in the garden all summer, even when its hot and humid. Only don't get as much done when the weather is too hot and humid.

I worked on all those weeds up there and got them out. Then I set the edger pavers exactly were I wanted them to be to make the new tall bearded iris bed. This involved lots of moving of the edges and finially putting a string line down with lots of measuring to follow. Now I am working on putting a smaller section to run along using bricks as edgng. Will have to get pictures so you can see what I mean.

I have the TB iris ordered and coming in July so I have to get that part done. The smaller section planned for eventual lilies and cottage garden flowers will most likely not be finished this year. But I am working on it.
