I Love Company

I particularly love the company that our four butterfly bushes draw. We hosted at least two of these butterflies today:

 

We believe that these are Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies.

The Suspense is Killing Me

I love it when the butterflies drink from the butterfly bush. It's very charming.

We have lots of cute little beets humming along.

 
This was a shock:

I had no idea that two zucchinis are done. But there they are. They've grown four inches in two days.

The tomatoes are so close, and there are so many of them on some plants. I want to have friends over for Caprese every day.

The cayennes look fabulous; they're just getting some finishing size and color, I imagine.

And I have this cute wildflower in my yard...I love the cute little random bird-gifts and preschooler-gifts.

Pretty Things

Cuteness (imvho)

I:

• Planted sunflowers with kids. We're fond of hand-held cultivators. We just are.
• Trimmed the sunflower garden.
• Pruned two butterfly bushes - a lot.
• Cultivated and preened (with chemicals) the vegetable garden (garden 3) again.
