Thank-you Mike (yes, let's see some of your gorgeous blooms) and Susan and Becky. I really am getting to the end of this bloom season, and love affair. Sad. We are expecting 4 days of rain this week, and believe me, we need it badly. That will cool it down, and probably take us into Fall for sure.
Becky, just wanted to mention that your DD pod is still a pod. I finally cut off the entire scape yesterday and brought it into the house with a few others I don't want to lose, and placed those scapes in water. Its been about 41 days. I also am drying seeds all over my kitchen.
And lastly, I have NO rust in my garden this year, probably because I didn't introduce any new southern plants into my garden this year. Rust doesn't Winter over in Vermont anyway, but its nice to see green leaves everywhere with the exception of those few that just die naturally. That will come soon enough!!!
From my mountain deck today. 90 degrees on Sept. 6th, hot, humid, and very hazy over the mountain ski slopes. Global warming?
