Too many bugs, not enough birds, where did they all go? They must not like the heat. One of these days I'm going to check the nestboxes.
Coco doesn't mind, he's been feasting on grasshoppers. What did he think when this Checkerspot landed on him? Bugs land on him a lot, and he doesn't seem to mind. He's very patient. It's all part of his plan. Next thing you know, they're down the hatch.Coconut sunbathing in the clover.
That was a good salad.
It's harvest time at last. We started that lettuce inside in...March? It was a long time ago. The bok choi, spinach and arugula all went to seed. It's the same every year, we don't have the right climate for those crops. Cabbage seems to be ok though. The carrots are coming along, if a bit crookedly.
This is a funny, pretty gallairdia that must have come from a seed mixture.
The hummingbirds have been visiting the bee balm, they love red! Who doesn't?
Purple! The lavender is blooming now, and the oregano is about to.
Don't forget pink! This is the wild pink spiraea, which bloomed profusely this year.

Coconut probably has a pretty good time outside in that clover. I wonder if that butterfly and him could have some sort of symbiotic relationship? That would be cool.
As usual, your flower pictures are outstanding. I especially like the lavender and oregano mix. That is a good combo.
