The image above is from Saturday. Despite morning rains, we still had five people come in for our Saturday workday. They worked with Janice and did an amazing amount of weeding. We're now in "the shift" from planting (essentially done) to weeding. It was very muggy this entire weekend and we had more rain overnight Saturday. Today was beastly outside but the heat is sure moving the plants along (including weeds!). I gave a tour to the Naperville (IL) Garden Club and they seemed to enjoy it. Many of their members had not been to the gardens so it's always nice to tour the gardens with new visitors. Last night was our annual Dinner Dance and I heard that it went very well. This week will involve lots more work and catchup weeding. Check out the cool variegation on this hot pepper plant (variety is 'Hot Purple'). Here's a plant with great foliage and ornamental fruit. We're going to have some real neat ones out of this collection of 232 varieties. On the bottom is 'Little Rocket' ligularia. This plant needs part shade and plenty of water. What a strong summer bloomer though and smaller than the more common ligularia 'The Rocket'.
