Well, I got a few minutes of mowing in before the monsoon resumed.  All this rain on top of the soil improvements has yielded results.  I was excited (yeah, Hort nerd) to see whole colonies of various fungi coming up in my compost area.  This is good news for the soil quality of my future woodland natives corner.

The first zucchini have doubled in size overnight, and will be ready to harvest by tomorrow.  My lemon mint is blooming in the herb garden; they remind me of Dr. Seuss characters.

I was happy to see these gladioli blooming for the first time, as well as all these perennials thriving.  I used to take black-eyed susans, coneflowers, and daisies for granted, but now I appreciate their value to pollinators and the environment.

Misu follows me wherever I go in the garden.  Here Is the fierce jungle hunter, climbing trees, stalking, and being a blob-cat.
