for our guests

Really, I think we need to plant these much-much-much-much earlier next year. What's the deal with Not Blooming until (almost) July?? Hopefully our summer guests will get to enjoy lots of bright flowers because of these slow-pokes.

the surprise (ie, not basil)

and now (see how they're wilting? the heat started two days ago). I'm wondering if I've been watering them too much -- well, not too much for them, but too much for the cilantro. Do you see it to the right? It's yellow. Also (and you can't see this in the picture), all the cilantro plants are starting to seed. I suppose I should look up what that means.

all done

the anemones, yesterday. I'm going to pull them up and use the pot for our one hardy geranium.

End of May
