For all the garden work, these little exotics tickle my fancy.

Dug up the outdoor figs. Enuff is enough. Hired Rory to get that and a few projects done.

The garden has taken off. Two recent days of wet weather, one of thunderstorms and one of high winds and some rain, has settled everything in.

Tomatoes, the size you would buy are formed on the vine. This could be incredible. Of course this is in the bed that is largely last two years compost.

Basil, Rosemary and parsley pots on the balcony are full. Some serious mowing has been going on.

Blueberries are formed and the squirrels are enjoying those. Not a sign of a hazelnut. The honeysuckle is largely done. The transplanted row of hostas as has taken, so that design piece at the back needs to be finalized.

Something is eating the grape vine at the parking pad, and only a few bunches of grapes formed. Poor performance.

Yuccas are starting to bloom and those little beetles are back again this year. I blame it on the ants. And there are ants galour.

The pear trees at 14 are alive. One is a beautiful standard, the Bosch, and the Anjou is really flopping over. Looks like it wants a trellis.

Crocosmia are starting to bloom. Got a lovely pair at the Toronto Botanical sale and received my membership card just recently.

A good show of mud bees in June. Seems they have all left in recent days.
