Echinacea is beginning to bloom beside the barrel garden.
This is the barrel garden.
This pepper is beginning to ripen.
Moss rose is blooming.
So is gazania.
Million bells are blooming on the patio.
Here is the septic garden.
Cleome is blooming in the white garden.
Yucca is almost done blooming. I was out in the evening and surprised to discover that they are more fragrant at night. Since they are pollinated by moths, this makes sense, but I had not noticed it before.
Some of its flowers are setting seed. This also surprised me, because I didn't think
yucca moths came this far north and also I've never seen their little holes (made by exiting caterpillars) on the pods. But perhaps their range is expanding, or some other moths may have done the duty.
Most of the morning glories have been eaten.
This is the cardinal nest in the hazelnut bush.
Here is the wildflower garden.
Echinacea is just putting out petals.
Prairie onions have heads.
Asters are blooming.
These black raspberries are in the blackberry patch.
The blackberries aren't ripe yet.
