Oh and I heard this little lady on the Pineapple Sage, you really need some of this, I had 20 Sulphurs on it the other day. Click to enlarge, it's a Hummer!!!!
Now there are just a few Coneflowers left and I'm pulling up the Wishbones and Celosia.
They'll be back!

Darla: Those flower beds are really beautiful.
Your prepared beds are so beautiful. I mean the soil looks so loose and easy to work in. I have a problem ever since we moved here 9 years ago with hair fine roots growing in my flower beds.
This past spring the bed around my birdbath was completely worked with a rotatiller and filled with compost, good soil. I started to plant an iris root the other day and I could not get the trowel into the soil it was so tangled with those tiny roots.
What should I do? I am clueless.
Hi Darla,
I love your garden.

That is why we love spring and summer so much, because winter isn't pretty. Except when it snows.
Boy - what a lot of work!!! I look forward to seeing them in full bloom next spring!
Happy Anniversary!
I'm impressed. My yard is a mess right now. It's been too hot to work in mine and now it's been raining a little off and on. Some day soon... :-)
Wow - I need your help and skills over here at the log cabin! You are so organized and I love your design!
you sure are working hard. it is always a lot of fun to work in your beds.
I think we are so much alike. This is what I do constantly is change, and clean up. Your gardens are beautiful.
Thank you all for the nice comments! How come when we look at our own things we tend to see what needs to be done and not what has been done?
Darla, It is the season for changing things out in the garden. I've worked hard over the years to have lots of foundational plants that stay all year long so the seasonal gaps are getting smaller. My idea is to change out nooks and crannies rather than entire beds.
Whew... we have to come up with good solutions when we garden year round!
That hummer was eager to get at that red salvia. I didn't see one single hummer this year. Some years there are a few but never many.
You've been working hard, Darla. You will be rewarded for all your labors in the spring.
