I didn’t do anything big, just planted the rest of the dwarf cosmos  (the ones with the abysmal germination rate) here and there, and pulled out a few weeds. I can’t find any of my bebe Monarchs, but I’ve still got somewhere between 13 and 16 pipevine ‘pillars. Hope my Monarch bebes are just hiding, but I fear not; they were very small.

I did get the posts placed for the trellis, and P smashed them down for me. No rush to get the fencing up, really, since the cardinal climber and runner beans are roughly 2″ tall. I painted the tops, though.

Planted the last of the scarlet pumpernickel in a big pot. I wanted a couple of pots that we could move closer if we wanted to watch MLBs (or photograph them!)

First zinnia of 2015 won by a petal’s width; there’s also a red one just about open.

I made a prototype finch feeder while I was watching L&O: SVU. The top isn’t finished because I don’t have paracord yet, and I want to be sure of the size before investing too much effort, so it’s just stuck up there with a big binder clip. Hopefully it won’t fall, and hopefully, they’ll use it.
