I am proud of the progress in my garden this year. After a lot of hard work, it is at a stage that I can really enjoy it. As much as possible, I have tried to listen to the garden rather than trying to force it to do my will. It reminds me to treat life in the same way. Be patient. Be tolerant. Enjoy.
The garden is in such good shape for this time of the year. The temperatures have moderated and the rainfall is adequate. Summer tasks are now routine. I am deadheading perennials and some weeding which is much less this year as the perennials have filled in the open space.
As usual, I will be posting on the Six on Saturday group. The routine is to post 6 photos of the day or of recent vintage. Gardeners from around the world join. Come visit. Take 6 of your own and join us. The rules are easy.

The brown eyed Susan is a favorite in my garden. It reseeds and has just begun blooming so it is a welcome addition to the blooming plants.
The Dragon Wing Begonia will display well until frost.
The Coreopsis is a self seeder and can be a little pushy but I forgive it since it is so charming.
I have shown you this Caladium before but they are in rare form this year.
The Dahlia attracts the pollinators. I started these from seed several years ago and they are acting like hardy perennials.
I had to show you this double rainbow that appeared yesterday evening as we were coming out of a restaurant after dinner.
Happy Gardening!
