Our summer in Storey country has been a rainy one. Lately the weather has begun to take a turn for the better. The sun is shining more often than not, the evening temperatures have been dipping into the 50s and 60s — perfect for sleeping — and because of the wetter-than-normal conditions, the landscape is still glowing bright and green and the flowers are almost electric!

Not so much blooms as creating new spaces this time around — maybe it'll look better by next Bloom Day! Here's hoping.
New garden spaces and a future small lawn
New plants to put in the new spaces: heucheras, low spreading geraniums, Ligularia ‘Desdemona’, crocus, and allium bulbs.
Cabin bed with red and yellow yarrow, blue flax, and
pink and white something for which I can't remember the name!

A crowded mass waiting to be divided and put into the new spaces
Not actually flowering, thank heaven, but a very successful raised salad garden
and a pot of dill in the foreground. Have had lovely fresh salads all summer,
and these will last until the frosts arrive (a good while yet, I’m hoping!!).
