A is for August and Abbondanza!
Tomatoes come in fast in August!
And, so do pollinators! I need air traffic control to direct all the bird and insect pollinators in my summer garden.
Left to right: Veronicastrum “Culver’s Root,” Rudbeckia Laciniata, “Autumn Sun,” and Agastache, “Blue Fortune”
Here, too, are the sunflowers started from the free seeds picked up at the library.
I hope that this finds you, too, enjoying the bounty of your gardens (apart from the weeds!). Please feel free to send me photos of what is growing to share with club members.
Iris lovers take note:
My neighbor, Brooke Cash, has 25-30 divisions of Iris Germanica, “Immortality,” a lovely, fragrant rebloomer, that she is happy to donate to anyone interested. Please contact her directly at mailto:bwcash@gmail.com

Good works…
