Weeding Day

I've put off weeding for a month on the grounds that-- and you can take your pick- it's too hot, it might rain, it's too hot, I'd rather read.
Anyway, it took a couple of days to finish this one bed but it does look tidy now.
I love Tiger Lilies; just plant one and the next thing you know you have a full house.

A Black eyed Susan can withstand anything the weather dishes out and still look like the Belle of the Ball.

Water lilies are so perfect they look artificial, bless their hearts.

I've never been able to over-winter a tuberous begonia bulb so I start fresh in the spring. They're just so elegant.

The real frogs abandoned the pond after (or perhaps during) the spring rock slide, so that leaves Minnie, who remains steadfast.
