Coneflower with mason bee

Yay, they are blooming!

Spiderwort and bee balm.

Coreopsis

My coreopsis is blooming. It's good stuff.  Next year I think I'll move some things so that the yellow coreopsis and blue spiderwort are next to one another, since they bloom at the same time and the color contrast would be very nice.

Someone looking at my blog might think that I have a nice big healthy garden and take good care of it.  Not true. It's weedy and largely unmulched and is generally unimpressive.  I am happy to report, though, that my three tomato plants, in tilled soil, are the happiest-looking I've ever had, and I might actually be getting some edible carrots soon.  There are lots of little peppers on my cayenne plants and the basil is, as always, doing well.

I like sycamores.
