It's not always ALL about the veg. around here. Here's a look at what's in flower right now. The clematis is a volunteer, so no idea about the variety. Peony plants are ancient and been around here since I was a kid, but I moved some of them to this spot a few years ago. The Helen Mount violas are having a very good year. They escaped their planter from last year and decided they like to live under the Peonies.

Added on to one of my front beds, another 15 x 5 foot section. Earlier this year, I added another section at the other end of the bed that reaches the sidewalk.
Rain showers started before I could get any plants in the ground.

Worked on the garden today, removing Convolvulus arvensis (bindweed). A never-ending task.
Planted my winter sown Eragrostis spectabilis (purple lovegrass) in the easement as well as Agastache foeniculum (anise hyssop) and Penstemon hirsutis (hairy foxglove) in one of the front garden beds.

It's been well over 92F / 33C each afternoon for the last 3 days and things are getting dry again. The promised cold front has started to move through this afternoon and the temp. is already down to 72F / 22C with cooler temps coming overnight. A light shower just came through to freshen things up and leave us a faint rainbow just as sun is getting lower in the west. More rain tonight (not too stormy, I hope). Nice to cool off!

Whee! Homemade cucumber, sunspot sunflower, and red dazzler cosmos I sowed five days ago sprouted today.

Greenhouse update: We got the okra started today, (Had to eat a lot of Lemon-ice to get the pots to recycle!). Also the corn is sprouting (5 days) and the cucumbers and squash are starting to appear (4 days). Won't be long before stuff can go out into the ground. Busy times! Had a samara from a silver maple (Acer saccharinum) blow in from somewhere. Sent it on it's way. Don't need it growing with the squash.

Got out just as the sun was coming up so I could get the eggplant (Aubergine) set out at last. Temp. topped out at 93F / 34C today, so I'm glad we got it done early. I DID remember to include some of the "cripples" from the problem I had earlier with the first planting having a "withering" of the growing tip in the seed trays. They now look just as healthy as the replacement plantings so we will see how things develop. Rest of garden looks ok.

Flowers on my blackberry bushes and on my peas.

Took the day off yesterday to observe our 41st anniversary. (Sue, you're still the one!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdfW_2frXnE )Today I finished moving last year's compost up to be mulch between the two rows of tomato plants. Now the rest will get mulched if and when material becomes available over the next few weeks. While I did that, BeetBear tended to his beloved beet root crop, which looks pretty good so far!

My old, sad, 20-volt Black and Decker reciprocating saw says “NO!!”
Now I have a valid excuse to dive further into the Ryobi ecosystem. One+ Brushless, this time.

Today’s project might kill me. Or it might make me stronger.
We recently bought a BEAUTIFUL large eastern redbud for our front yard. It will replace the invasive mimosa tree my late grandmother insisted on having. We had it taken out / stump ground a year ago. There are absolutely still shallow roots where I want this tree to be. 😵

@malte Yes, the soil temp and how it affects germination is part of it, but also I got tired of crows and starlings pulling up the seedlings and having to endlessly re-sow. Starting in pots gives me better control of each planting and helps with timing each successive planting. Photo from 28 May 2024.
