We had heavy, heavy rain most of the day today. I remain quite surprised at how well all the flowers are holding up, because the rain has been so hard that I expect to look out and see all the flower stalks lying on the ground, but so far, so good. The hollyhocks are blooming

The garden is definitely in transition, from our June bursts of bloom and the start of the summer colors of yellow and gold. For some reason, I seem to have a lot of white things blooming right now, not that I’m complaining. It just means I need to buy more plants! What a hardship. Madame

Our poor pumpkin! Still huge, and the blossoms are huge, but now we learn that they have to be hand pollinated. I doubt we are even going to get a single pumpkin from this plant. Stupid pumpkin. I wanted to take my own home grown pumpkin to the Keene Pumpkin festival this year. Chrysler Imperial

We were outside every possible minute today, trying to get things ready for the garden tour. I’m slowly feeling like I’m getting it under control, though.

Welcome to High Summer! I was a picture-taking fool today, but I can’t help it. The garden is absolutely beautiful right now. Such a change, suddenly. There are tons of colors all over the place, and everything, it seems, is in bloom. My window boxes in particular are all very full, draping down nicely.

The fish are getting more comfortable, and chowing down on bugs. I hope they figure out what the food is soon though. I doubt they’re getting enough bugs to grow. I could see about 10 of them, more than yesterday’s 6, so maybe they’re all OK. I also planted an Italian honeysuckle that Lisa got
