Water, Water Everywhere

The rain gauge is overflowing.

I forgot to dump it after the 

third 4-inch rain.  Then we had

5 inches with the hurricane.

Then an additional inch!

It stops at 9 inches

(on the other side).

We staked up the hollyhocks.

And moved the lima beans

out into a sunnier area.

I was able to find lots of 

bloom.  The flowers are still

doing their thing despite

this crazy weather.

Summer Phlox

Cardinal Flower

Orange Zinnias

No rose blooms

after the torrents

of rain!

Daylilies

Blue and White

Balloon Flowers

Dahlias

Coleus and Petunias

More Daylilies

and Sunflowers.

I wish!

 

The Circle of Life

LIMA BEANS planted in April as a Didi School project. Harvested in late July from a planter with a trellis of sunflower vine. Still amazing after all these years gardening!
