Well, things have maintained pretty well durnig July. Most summer bloomers have come to fruition, as the hydrangea rebloomers have finished with their first flush and are working on their 2nd, and the hydrangea paniculatas are now fully into their mid-summer blooming. Joining my faves have been roses at their 2nd flush, and butterfly bushes beginning their bloom cycle. We've kind of moved into some more humid weather to go with increased heat, so it hasn't affected the plants as bad as the dry heat did earlier in the month.

I forgot to post that I recently added a Pee Gee hydrangea tree at 4' tall and stuck it in the northeast corner of the yard - another winner from Giant Eagle which at their premium locations carry good plants at good prices throughout the Summer.
