I'm back from vacation and we have a garden!

My garden always seems to be the last one to bloom every summer.  I really have to work on planting some earlier season flowers.  But, I just got back from vacation and it looks like all of my flowers are in bloom.  Maybe next year when I have time/money to plant some more plants, I can start focusing on earlier season plants to fill in the gaps in the garden.

While the bed in the front yard could still use some work, the butterfly bush looks great next to the zinnias I planted.  Too bad the zinnias are annuals

The best looking bed

My milkweed jungle.  I just picked two caterpillars off the leaves so hopefully we will have two new pets for a while before we have some butterflies.

The spiderwort closes every night and opens again in the morning

Looks like the blazing star has started to grow
