How is your garden looking today?

i had my first tomatos from the garden last evening, they were so good I had some more for brekkies this morning.

Lucky you, dys! If I had a tomato plant, I am not sure if the coyotes,
squirrels or rabbits would be first to pick them. Heck they even eat
my oranges... Evil or Very Mad

Only the limes are still on there.

The nerve of those little farging bastiges!

If they got my tomatoes I'd be really annoyed. Really really.

I dunno, I don't think many gardeners suffer like my friend Richard, harborer of seeming thousands of gophers in an apparent gopher wonderland by Lake Isabella. Talk about sisyphean endeavors.. he wire cages every single plant..

but in the meantime I can sympathize with you, CJ. Probably in a mixed way, as all that wildlife is also a kind of ballast. On the other hand, I haven't seen my first black widow here, or a rattlesnake in my yard, or scorpions. Yet.

The aruncus is fully out now, slightly damaged by rain and stormy weather, but still a riot.

We wound up buying rather large plants because it is so late to plant veggies. Our seed starts did quite poorly due to the fickle weather (dry, then frost, then dry, then REALLY WET, now cold again). At least we have a garden. Many people just gave up or didn't plant at all. Those that planted early lost much of their plants to the late frost. It's next to impossible to find any selection of peppers here for that reason - they all bought a second planting.

Your wish is my command, but of course I've selected the best in-season bits to snap. It's not all wonderful Embarrassed

, but I'll see if I can get some more acceptable pics.
There may be a geranium somewhere....

Those aruncus do look marvelous, McTag, and yes, you do have a
beautiful garden. It's very well attended to.

The rainy climate helps.

Sometimes some major remodelling is necessary.

Okay prompted by the Lady Diane, I took some more pictures around the place this morning.

The observant (critical?) eye will note there is weeding, grasscutting, pruning, sweeping etc to attend to but that need not trouble us unduly because...

no plants were harmed in the making of these pictures.
