I haven’t been doing enough projects to feel “inspired” to post, so I…haven’t. I have some random pictures that I uploaded, but didn’t post.

Crappy picture of pale purple asters that makes them look white. I think these are some that I bought last fall, and meant to cut back before the 4th of July so they’d be bushy, but never did. I think asters look fine just the way they grow anyway.

New England asters that I grew from one of the hundreds of seeds I’ve planted. Of course, they volunteered at the very edge of the Honeysuckle Horseshoe, which is not where I’d have deliberately placed a tall plant, but they’re NE asters, so they stay.

One little Spicebush doot-doot, not even big enough to look like bird poop.

MLBs aren’t the only ones who like scarlet pumpernickel; sulphurs do, too.

It was flea beetles and undesirable weather this year, but even somewhat damaged hardy hibiscus blooms are welcome at this point in time. I think they look nice, backed by hundreds of helenium flowers.

Last weekend, I finally got around to putting a border around Thug Lyfe. Well, most of it. All that’s on the other side at this point in time is the trumpet creeper and some blue mistflower, so I didn’t get another roll of border. I haven’t made up my mind what, if anything, I should add to the other side. This side has enough to border, though.

Yep, another poop picture. I don’t know what kind (Luna would be a safe guess), but there’s a big caterpillar in the sweetgum tree again this year. Sadly, I recognise caterpillar poop.

Yellow bear caterpillar. Yep, summer is almost gone.
