It was raining, and I didn’t expect to see Tree Dude, but they were all finished, ready to be paid when I woke up from my nap. The birds lost a few perches, but they’ll adapt, and I can actually plant something over there now, I think. I’m going to wait for a sunny day to make sure, but at least the Grey Stick will get more light. The other Grey Stick and the Cliffie Bush are leafing out nicely, but that one is slow. Hopefully, it’ll be better now.

All I planted today was oregano seeds, and they were an afterthought, but things are growing, and my shoulder needed a rest anyway.

There’s…stuff…coming up in the south flowerbed. I know most of it is zinnia and tithonia, but the rest? Dunno. I only sort of remember what I planted there anyway. This is tithonia.

These are…surprise! I don’t know.

Red bee balm is not fucking around. This was a tiny clump last year. Now, I’m going to have to move the phlox!

My pipevine lived!

So did my dwarf joe-pye weed–I was getting worried!

Old lady’s lilac is blooming. It’s happy over on the south side; it’s even putting out new growth from the bottom.
