funny weather here, been warm & the last two months were sunnier than average.
I am going to have to get out & water the gardens in the morning since the rain didn't eventuate today.
I'll blast the aphids off the roses while I am at it.
Since I saw waxeyes eating aphids I am reluctant to use the usual systemic sprays.
Penstemons enjoy this heat, I split my mini 'Electric Blue' into several bits & am trying to nurse it along.
It really isn't as easy as the other bigger ones, they will form new plants by layering without any help from me.
My purple one pictured has been a great one to share around - I even had to bin plants that I couldn't find homes for just to stop it from taking over the garden completely.
