Ok - I had my first, maybe not quite ripe, cherry tomato - a Rosalita
(pink), a bit tart, but just a few more days and I'll have ripe ones for
sure. The rest of the cherry tomatoes are few weeks away I think.

While dumping the weeds in the compost, I found the first of the wild
blackberries. YUM - a really treat in yesterday's heat.

I'm still dividing, marking to remove and otherwise, moving plants around.
And my mulch - a trade of 4 yards for about 40 mature clumps of daylilies,
is slowing making my paths a treat again.

As too sticky pots, well, I always have to scope out what in the discount
racks at Lowes

Is doing wonderfully in a lightly shady spot and just lights it up.

I also got a white purple cone flower and will keep looking for more cheap
plants.

One thing I want to do is clear room in the long bed for one or two blue
leafed rose (ok - that is what I was told the name was when I was gifted
it). I gave on to my neighbor and it is doing wonderfully on the side of her
yard in the "hot bed" among the orange daylilies and red bee balm.
