Morning glories around the support wire have been nibbled, but not all demolished.  This is why I plant them in succession about a week apart.

Pink penstemon is blooming in the wildflower garden.  This one is new; I just planted it this spring after the native plant sale.

I had not heard that one! :D

However, I do know it spreads and that is what I hope it will do where I put it. I want that patch to be A) not bare dirt or B) weeds. I've tried for years to grow grass there and it won't. So now I'm trying herbs and flowers instead.

That rhubarb is growing like mad. I think I shall plant more of it next spring. Mint and chives are also winners. So's the pink sedum, which is an autumn bloomer.

Have you tried lemon balm? It does pretty well.

D'OH! *facepalm*

No, I have not, and it's growing everywhere here. That and the catnip. I should dig up some and transplant it. I'll try to remember that for later. Right now the weather is dry and things are wilting.
