I had a completely different post drafted with photos that I've taken over the past couple of days, but I went outside this afternoon and found such a different garden after 4 days of sun in a row (shh, don't jinx us) that I just had to start a fresh post. My very first blooming day-lily (unnamed passalong from my friend Mary) in the patio garden:
The hydrangea is insane! It's waist high and the blooms are bigger than my hand:
The Bay State Angel dahlia is blooming away:
And the Parkland Glow is about to pop:
The moonflowers suddenly decided to send out a scouting party:
Overnight one of my peppers was attacked, but I think it will survive:
The first heirloom tomato has set (and frankly I'm amazed given the June we had). The winner of the race to first tomato is the Green Zebra, now the question is will it be the first ripe tomato:
The Kentucky Wonder beans are climbing the trellis quite nicely:
I hope I get a better spider photo at some point this summer because I don't think this one is quite calendar-worthy:
Now if I did a vertical calendar, I would consider this photo:
And who knew creeping jenny blooms? Not me:
I'm loving this container...the colors, the textures:
I can't wait to see what a few more days of sun will bring!
Wow, just look at all that. I can't wait until this fall when my Lillies start to come out

The "world travelers" are back in beautiful, steamy, rainy Southwest Florida. The huge cherry tomato plants that I dragged outside of the lanai have survived and continued to produce, and ALL the Myers
lemon seeds have sprouted and grown to three-inch seedlings. Anyone want a lemon grove?

Eric -- You threw me with that one. Lilies bloom in Austin in the fall?
Mom -- I don't think FL to CA counts as world traveling. I think you have to leave the U.S. for it to be "world." I can't wait for cherry tomatoes.
