Full Garden after Weeding (June 7, 2021)
Wow, a little hot weather (3 days above 90F) and what a change in the garden. Almost everything is doing really well. We got up and weeded and watered the whole garden this morning before the temperature got too hot. We now have Columbine blossoming as well as the Viburnam bush. The NJ Tea is budding (this plant is new to me so I'm very interested in watching how it does). The Purple Coneflower and Liatris are also budding. The Rose Milkweed is the only one that isn't doing well, we were concerned about this plant after our discussion with the people from CCCD. But there were no other options as the other milkweed was all sold out. I'm still hopeful that it's just the hot weather.

We have several types of pollinators visiting us now. I'm not sure what they all are so I'll put pictures in and update them as I identify them. Please send me a comment if you know what they are. I'm just learning these so help is appreciated.
