A metal piece found long ago has been repurposed into a HUGE tomato cage {unsure of it's original use - someone once thought a pot-rack for the kitchen}
Moving to the floral department ~
Shasta Daisy heads fill an entire patch of garden space... tilting their faces to the sun.
Roses are still vibrant and abundant, yet I presume they are feeling somewhat wilty after that full week of scorching sun. Time for them to be fed again, so I might keep them happy through the fall!
Seems the summer-loving Hollyhock maintains her dignity and stands tall and stately through all kinds of weather ~
Happy mop-head Hydrangeas are blissfully blooming, but they too looked weary last week during the heatwave ~
Now, back to vegetable subjects again....
Not for lack of trying, but I've been unable to master the establishment of beets in our vegetable beds. Still I purchase them with fervor and we savor our salads with some goat cheese sprinkled atop ~
Getting a run for my money with shoots, tendrils, climbers and runners of all kinds. The wisteria runners climb to amazing heights and have a mind all their own. They are crazy-smart plants that can reach their way to anything brave enough to be within a 3 foot radius.

Many laborious hours ahead of me... with PLEASURE. Especially since much of the month of May, and June were spent away from home {what with that anniversay and such... wink-wink!}
