Yesterday morning was the day that a small weekly crew of volunteers deadheads and weeds at the church garden. I took a photo of the begonias that I hope become ridiculously huge by September. The sprinkling system was out for a week because the lawn people had run over a valve and shut off the system without informing the church, so everything suffered a tad--but the flowers are again looking good and growing in the steamy summer weather.
This is a new design, under that new coral burst crab tree, including a ring of taller begonias of a different variety. Frank gave up on the zinnias that were prominent here last year, as most of them developed powdery mildew, even with treatment of the soil and spraying of the leaves. Next year the partial edging of dusty miller could be extended and the blue salvia (a "river runs through it" concept) could do a partial wrap around the back perimeter of the circle and it would be one (more) awesome maze of beauty. I will get a better picture in subsequent weeks and add it to the post.
