Anything by ‘Proven Winners’ is truly a WINNER. I’m sure that Lilac will be just lovely!

I picked about a half-bushel of green beans today - so I plan on sleeping well tonight too. ;)

I slept straight through without waking up - that’s unusual.

I found an online site that has Proven Winner Rose of Sharon bushes. I see two colors that would work - mom gets to pick. They are in the ‘Chiffon’ series so double bloom. They come quart size, but that would be good for me as far as planting and they grow a foot a year. The ones at the garden center are 3 gallon & so is the lilac ... oof! It will probably take me half a day to dig a hole for the lilac, if I don’t hit rock.

“Simple” day as far as outside work. Get tree #3 down & MOW before the rain tomorrow. Based on the 60% & the way the showers are described, we should be seeing some rain.

We haven’t made it to the orchard yet for peaches - we were too late yesterday after picking up dirt & going to Lowe’s, plus I didn’t want to go with the trailer. I have 2 peach chutney recipes I would like to try, the peach upside-down Bundt cake & at least one pan of Cobbler:-) Maybe Thursday ....
