    Hydrangeas are coloring in. Not so many flower heads this year, as in the past.

    J like the look of Cosmos. I've never planted any. It just may be the only annual I'd bother with, aside from some container flowers.

    Deer like them too. I have a big section that has not bloomed yet. Haven't hit peak on these beds yet.

    Horsefly trap


    I stopped using sticky traps as it was catching too many good bugs and bees.

    Weeds and invasive - terms that are used by different people for the same plants, depending upon the circumstances :)

    Double petal day lilies behind the hydrangea (which for once didn’t get burned up by late frosts this spring)...
