Just Another Gorgeous Sky.

6-26-18 VERMONT: Last night was in the forties and tonight is predicted to be in the thirties. A frost would be a disaster. There was rain, 0.75 inches, followed by sunny and windy days and brrry cold nights.

I have done a lot more pruning and weeding and tomorrow, I start watering again. I did get to Browns Nursery and pick up a few things—an astilbe, A. chinensis ‘Mighty Pip’ that went by the new French doors, an echinacea, E. purpurea ‘Green Twister’ for the top of the new wall bed, a hibiscus, H. x ‘Hardy Hybrids’ ‘Cherry Choco Latte’ that is in the upper terrace bed, and three lobelia, L. siphilitica ‘Great Blue Lobelia’ went in the lower terrace bed.

New blooms: bind weed, native daylily, Russian sage, Purple Rain salvia.


I like the single peonies better than the showier doubles.

Sorry, I have to post another red sky, another dawn.

Bind weed is just that, a weed that grows over and on everything. It's a morning glory relative and an attractive nuisance.
