i am back in the garden after a 5 day absence. a lot has happened in the week. when i left, it was hot and we were forecasted to have a nice stretch of rainless weather. i left monday, the clems were deep watered wednesday morning. we had a good bit of rain thursday(yesterday). so the weather and moisture were good.
first the walk around and situation check out.
no harm done while i was gone, but the clems that are bloomed out are looking ratty and some screaming for a trim.
took pics of some of the highlights.
the earlier heavy rain in june have taken a toll in general with come of the clems in terms of blooms holding up well and looking their best.
rubromarginata in full bloom, here it is with ville de lyon.
