I picked a mess of peas today:
It is so hot, the vines are nearly done. My experimental row of direct-sown seeds isn't going to amount to much, I'm afraid.
I brought the peas to a picnic this afternoon. They didn't last long.
Garlic scapes are ready now, too:
I'd wanted to bring garlic scape pesto to the picnic, but the day got away from me. On the agenda for tomorrow.
The girls and I had a nice picnic in the sculpture garden, though it was very crowded for the first jazz night of the season. A thunderstorm eventually chased us away, but I got home to find total dryness. Boo!
As I took a late-evening walk around the yard, some of the plants seemed to be glowing. The neon-yellow of the Oenothera missouriensis is much more palatable post-dusk:
Nearby, the kousa dogwood lights up the back corner of the house:
And in the front, the shrub rose does the same for the other corner:
I see the daffodil foliage is finally succumbing to the heat.
It's about time: I have things I need to plant there.
In the side garden ,the first daylily opened today:
I also saw my first fireflies (they're not very photogenic). Summer's here!
Your new header is gorgeous. I'm sorry I didn't get any peas. I'm DYING to see your garlic!!!
