Bill McCarthy's latest garden post made me realize I hadn't taken any pics in a while so here's what's going on in mid July.

The hostas are blooming.

The clematis are lush.

There's a lot going on in the front garden - rubekia, foxglove, daisies, mallow, astilbe, roses, russian sage and so much more.

The Hollyhocks are starting to open.

Down by the road the menarda (bee balm) is open all along the fence.

For some reason the daylilies along the fence haven't opened while they have opened everywhere else.

I'm not sure how this sunflower got into the hanging basket, but I'll have to get it out of there soon! 

The veggie garden needs major weeding but it's lush with veggies - though we're only getting lettuce (still) and waiting for everything else to come into season. Here are some peas that are getting ready. There's plenty more but the weeds are too embarrassing, so no more pictures.
