Early August in the Garden
The garden is full of vegetables, fruit, and flowers in the middle of summer. Some work is needed every day. With watering restrictions coming in, we will add hand-watering to the list of daily tasks.

Of these plants, the daylilies have been with us the longest. The hostas, clematis, and phlox are long-term favorites too. The perennial geraniums (Geranium sanguineum) and (Erodium sp.) are the stars of the lineup this summer.
