| It's been rather nice this week with a couple of rain days . Not the norm in PNW July, we usually have to wait till late October. The dogs have been bored as hell staying in . But I enjoyed spending the morning COOKING pasta sauce and listening to the BBC PROMS . |
 |
| This has been the shady seat under the Santa Rosa Plum and Cotinus , I believe we're in for more heat in a few days , so I'm embracing the wet. |
 |
| The umbrella … not to keep the Phlox dry; but to protect the badly placed Ligularia and Cimicifuga from burning to a crisp. |
 |
| The garden looks it's best in the wet. |

| Doesn't my NOID conifer look pathetic , I bought it a few year ago at the Cistus Tough love sale. It's got a sort of Charlie Brown Christmas tree charm. I wonder how big it will get? |
The recent rainy days have been refreshing but I'm glad that the sun and warmth will be returning! Your garden looks fabulous!
ReplyDeletePeter, The rain yes, but a hale storm , that's not on !
DeleteWe know we are true PNWers when we celebrate the rain. It sure does bring a sparkle to the garden.
ReplyDeleteRicki, Especially in July ,but I'm ready for sun now. That is one of your sweet peas by the way .
DeleteYour garden looks so wonderful, you'd never guess you had the losses you did this winter. And I love your Charlie Brown conifer!
