Oh, I was wondering what the second shot was! Very nice - but I still haven't seen anything from the real garden. Mine is in a summer slump right now, waiting for sedum to burst into bloom. At least the rotten little bumblebees aren't trying to chase me away. I hate them with a passion.

i am allergic to beestings, but i have been coexisting peacefully with the bees for the past few years. i sent the real garden this AM. i didn't have time last night (it was already getting on dusk) to take an updated pic of it, bc the one i sent was spring and before the stuff really took off. this is only the second year for that particular plot. our driveway cuts through the center of our plot, and so that is on the other side of the driveway from our house. i put in a ton of perennials. my problem is that the ornamental grasses send runners and become virtual WEEDS in there, which is irksome. they will take over the whole dang place. my hibiscus has not yet bloomed this year, not sure why. but it spread on it's own and just popped up another whole plant next to the original.
