I'm glad you had such a wonderful trip and look forward to your photos when you get around to it!<BR/><BR/>You do have a jungle going there, but our garden got away from us due to rain and hot weather a few weeks ago, so we're back to trying to tame and weed it (again). A lot of your flowers did just fine though, and your coneflowers are still looking good, because ours are goldfinch feed now ... your Russian Sage is fantastic back there... I've got to get one of the big ones. I mistakenly planted a 'Little Spires' dwarf variety several years ago and it just struggles where it is, and is nowhere near that impressive!<BR/><BR/>Too bad about your veggies ... we just started enjoying fresh tomatoes and corn this past weekend, but the peppers were just a bust. Maybe you can still salvage some of yours? Good luck!<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you back posting again!<BR/><BR/>IVGIowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.com
