This is 🙁 I cut/dug up the Mexican sunflowers and zinnias in that bed. Hope Hagatha is happy. I pulled dead stuff out of the Honeysuckle Horseshoe, too, and found a “petrified” caterpillar. I have no idea what happened. Here’s the 🙂 Happy birthday,  Stephanie!

I’m going out today to chop down the giant Mexican sunflowers that the rain mashed (again), but these are still pretty. Something ate all the leaves off one of my hardy hibiscus! The other one is still okay…so far.

Srsly!

They haven’t done much all year (in fairness, Charlotte did eat them once or twice), but they’re certainly pretty now, and soon enough, everything will be grey, brown and dead, so I’ll need to remember that it’ll be green again next year.
