Wordy Wednesday - June 10, 2026

 1/3 through with June already?  Wow!  

The weather has been quite nice, cool mornings and days that aren't too hot.  That changes later this week, days will be near 100°.

The tomatoes like it warm. They have grown so quickly.  Even the sickly looking Golden King of Siberia is looking good.  Smaller than the others, but it got a later start. 

May 29th on the left, June 7th on the right.  It still likes to lean to the left!   Well, leaning a bit left doesn't sound like a bad thing.

Did I forget to post about King of Siberia?  My son brought it home from work for me.  A sign read "Please take" with a lot of little pots of tomatoes.  When you are successful growing from seed you do often get too many to keep! 

Bonnie Best was not the best looking on May 10th (left), leggy and yellow.  That changed by June 7th (right).

Of course Sungold is ahead of the others!  

Sungold on the right, Pantano Romanesco in the middle, and Bonny Best on the left. 

Ditch lilies are blooming. I don't care what some say about them, I like them! 

There'll be lots of daylilies in the front yard soon! 

Black-eyed Susans are blooming too.

Bees can't fly when the weather is cool, so they settle in near a nectar source where it's warmer.  These two chose Shasta daisy Angelina and a Black-eyed Susan.  The weather app said it was 61° which should have been warm enough, but that temperature isn't taken in my backyard where it must have been cooler.

Formatting is all wonky again... no reason for it, I haven't changed my theme or font or sizes.  Looks fine in draft.  Maybe I should change the theme and see what happens.
