This is a very rainy update, but I am thrilled to get a break from watering! The consistent rainfall has been a blessing for my garden, which is thriving under these conditions. I have a lot going on right now, from nurturing giant watermelons and bantam corn each day to tending to the lovely Rose of Sharon in both pink and white Chiffon series, which have just begun to bloom, creating a stunning display of fluffy pastel blooms.
Additionally, my daylily seedlings are coming to life, promising a multi-colored explosion of blooms in the near future. I have results coming in from where I pollinated some of my favorite tried and true seedlings with a good bud count with the Building on Tradition daylily. Each plant contributes to the overall beauty and diversity of my garden, making it fun rather than just constant chores. The rewards of food and flowers make it all worth it.
