The Weather Changes.

7-12-13 VERMONT: The last twenty-four hours have been beautiful, low humidity, warm, sunny, little breeze, and no rain. The two days before had low, dark gray ceilings and deadly humidity and heat.

Today is what Vermont is supposed to feel like. I have been doing the usual, weeding and pruning. I probably say this every year, but things all seem early this year. I will look back at last year’s diary and check. It’s time to add the second batch of Aqua Pucks to the pond, I think they’re helping with the water quality.

New blooms: monarda, delphinium, mallow, pickerel weed.


Daylilies showing off.

Mallow, spreads nicely own its own.

Bee Balm, Monarda, spreads almost too easily, but bees and hummers love it.
