Last night’s storm blew over several container plants and took the top out of my tallest Butterfly Bush. The wind was fierce, there was lots of thunder and lightning, but the rain was mediocre by comparison. For the past week it’s been 90+F every day and gardening must be done before 9 AM – the earlier the better!
Daisies are still in bloom. Monarda and Yarrow look good and the Daylilies are beginning to bloom. They do not, however, like this hot weather any better than I do.

Lya, here in England, we often long for hot weather but we do not realise the toll this takes on the garden. It’s been much hotter here too – an amazing 26C, almost 80F but it is not set to last much longer and it does make gardening difficult.
