Not much, but I accomplished something, and that’s not bad for Saturday. It was a beautiful day, so I didn’t want to work my arse off, and we went to T’s in the evening, so a nap was critical.

I finished the walkway edging in the morning. I’m not overjoyed, but it looks okay, and no hooks to catch the hose.

I switched the old splash block by the gradge for a new one, and used the (smaller) old one on the gravel. Hopefully, the next time we get a deluge, we won’t get a big hole washed away in the gravel.

Tithonia Torch bloom.

Tithonia Goldfinger bloom.

Made a friend, perched on liatris (him, not me). We have a lot of dragonflies this year. This is Little Boy Blue…Dasher.

I cleaned the green edging, and bent it into a circle, then set it in the sun to soften that way. I planted the Sonic Bloom pink-that-is-red right outside the bedroom window.

Just after I woke up from my nap, I went down by the feeder to chase squirrels away from my wood feeder (bought an 18″ baffle this morning). I poked around a bit down there, and noticed some familiar leaves.

I checked with the botanists to make sure, but I was right. It was indeed trumpet creeper, courtesy of the seeds I threw on the ground and covered with debris. They couldn’t do anything last year because they weren’t cold-stratified, but they certainly got that last winter, and they’re doing fine. I moved a few smaller ones I found so that they’d be closer to the big ones that I first saw; hopefully they won’t mind being moved.

Sonic Bloom pink-that-is-red really is a rebloomer. Just this little clump so far, but this is the one in Sarah’s garden; I planted it not too long ago.

Cardinal climber is finally figuring out that it’s supposed to climb. The camera refused to focus on it, but that’s okay; as long as it’s growing.

Sarah-Flah’s tomato is a weird-looking thing. C is actually the one who noticed that these are not your typical round tomatoes.

A beautiful, fresh Red Admiral was on the butterfly bush. It was a little windy, so I held the flower for him. I love it when they let me do that.
