Nothing new happening here. The deer are still walking through the backyard bed and I found at least a half dozen broken stems or stalks this morning. This is getting old. I chased nine out of the yard a few nights ago. It's getting worse every year. The temps have cooled nicely but we're in bad need of rain. I gave everything a thorough soaking again this morning.

These photos are varieties I've posted before but the colors look much better now that the temps are lower.

1) Zorro. This one is almost 10".
2) Vancouver
3) Vera's Elma. Supposed to be VE but I'm not sure.
4) Elma Elizabeth
5) Alpen Pauline. Getting bigger every day.
