Everything is growing and mostly loving the heat. I noticed my peas, that are about 3 feet tall and look pretty healthy, just barely got blossoms on them. I’m wondering if it’s just too shady where they are, or the weather was funky (it has been strange), or its’ not a great variety. Hopefully I”ll get a handful. The tomatoes are also blossoming. I’ve got over twenty plants I think, so I’m excited for the bountiful harvest soon to come. Now it’s just weeding and wait time. I’ll probably fertilize a little as well soon.

I finished the shrub bed shown in the last post. Here’s a better after picture. I’m very pleased with how it turned out, now it just needs to survive the summer.

I go hiking a lot, and I’ve been trying to take pictures of all the wildflowers I’ve found. I’m posting some. I’m still working on my id skills, but I’ve marked what I know. If you know something I haven’t marked, please comment to help me out. I’m too lazy right now to look them all up. One hike was interesting. At the trail head the sticky geraniums were in bloom. Then further up we came across glacier lilies. Normally glacier liles are the first out and geraniums are in late spring, but with the change of altitude mixed in they were at the exact same time.

I also realized I really stink at taking pictures of all the ones I see. There’s also chokecherry, Utah ladyfinger and Indian paintbrush.
