Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, 15 July 2010

How the time does fly! It's already the 15th and Garden Bloggers Bloom Day is again upon me.

The berzerk Clarkia are finally fading -- and fast -- but the poppies are trying to make a comeback. The veggies are now blooming -- and producing! Here's what's going on:
  • Nasturtiums -- not many left and they're kind of small and ratty looking
  • Columbine -- both the natives and the hybrids are just about done
  • Penstemon -- the hybrid penstemon is still plugging along
