We've summerized!

It was a busy Saturday. Inspired by last week's garden show in California and a neighborhood social at our house tonight, there was lots of trimming and planting and sweeping and blowing and moving things around. We had some help - lots of help. The two blue down under pots from Australia are now hung upside down. Hopefully those lime green coleus will be more sturdy than the orangish coleus (which couldn't handle Arizona sun) that they replaced.

Next time you are over, check out what has changed behind this bench.

Arizona summer has officially arrived because:
-the wimpy plants are checking out
-vinca seedlings have taken their place
-shade cloth covers the greenhouse and garden
-tomatoes are ripening rapidly
-times for low rates have switched and rates in general have risen
-lap swims have begun
-we are getting up earlier to "beat the heat"!
