I got a late start in the garden this year, and the weather has been pretty wild. We had a very late frost at the end of May and in early June we were breaking heat records. We are currently in a drought, and it’s been hot and humid for most of June.

This year I managed to grow poppies for the first time. I grew a few different varieties the Flemish Antique poppy and Pepperbox poppies. I really like poppies, but may interplant them with zinnias next year.
