@KKosy87 you will get a better chance of a plant ID if you post in the plant ID forum. More people will see your plant that way. I think i know it but can't think of the name

Thanks I missed the plant ID forum!

Yesterday I cut down a tree for a customer and removed weeds from one of her flower beds. Got home and watered my front lawn, watered pots and baskets, cut out the grain stocks of my Great Basin Wild Rye. They are hollow and I thought I would dry them, cut them up, and try making a bug hotel with them. Ended the day mowing my back yard.

Watered my containers, it's been very dry and cool here. My lawn is turning brown!

Unfortunately, because of all the rain I haven't been able to get out there much. Thankfully, I am in an area that doesn't see flooding.

I haven't done anything in my garden for awhile, but I'm planning and doing a lot of planting and moving around in the coming weeks. I'll be removing coneflowers along the outer edges of my garden and replacing them with plants that are shorter and less prone to tipping over into the yard. I have so many coneflowers, my garden looks like a coneflower gardening rather than a native garden, so I'll be working to multiply certain species so I get more color, particularly blues, reds, and yellows. This will more than likely be a multi-year project, so I can do things slowly and less obvious so the garden won't look "under construction".

I would happily take those off your hands if you lived loser! Only one of mine survived from last year, but I'm hopeful I'll be able to keep it going.

Let them self-seed. They self-seed quite heavily.

My last cone flower died over the winter and I notice all the cone flowers in the city park down my street didn't make it either.

Going to be hotter than a pepper sprout today so I need to water some lawn and flower beds now (sun just rising) and then get on my bike and head to river to feed birds.

Applied nematodes to my lawn to control leatherjackers. Very effective and non destructive to the environment too
Cut back hard, very hard, some of the many pelargoniums I grow in the conservatory. Time for them to put on foliage quickly and even flower again in a month or so. Also gave me lots of cuttings.

Beautiful if windy day.
Cut lawns, divided a large hardy geranium and started assessing what stays and what gets moved
This is one of my red heleniums, Margot. Been in flower for 6 weeks or so and more buds to come

Also, I'm almost done with garden or yard work and letting it just go. My almost 8 month pregnant belly and crazy toddler have me EXHAUSTED and the heat!!! Ugh. Looking forward to mum shopping though!!

Yesterday I battled aphid infestations, mowed my back lawn, did some watering and peeled/cored apples for the freezer.
Today will be more apple collecting and freezing.

I also harvested my apple today. Just the one, but delicious. Like golden delicious, but much bigger. I have had that tree for 3 years and this year I have had only one fruit. So no freezer work for me.

Still have about 4 apples from my Discovery bought for £4 last year. They look tiny and sour ..
