When I went to cover the (just now blooming - Yvonne's salvia and Blue Bedder salvia) bed by the asparagus I stood in SHOCK, not able to comprehend what I saw. The string of invective that flowed from me was loud, explicit and very detailed. Mostly, I think, to keep me from crying. I covered the nubs anyway and will keep them covered.

We got a little rain and the forecast shows only one day in triple-digits for us for the coming week. Still 98, 99, but that's better than 106 to 112.

The nylon netting works -- it's just a pain in the butt. Can't just leave it during the day else the bees and hummers couldn't get at anything. Oh well... there's always next year.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-36155858660821448052012-08-05T01:23:14.520-04:002012-08-05T01:23:14.520-04:00Your garden is really beautiful and short of insta...Your garden is really beautiful and short of installing an electric fence, the deer always win. I've heard blood meal works as a deer barrier but don't know first hand. A hungry bear would be really effective.

They don't even wait for the seed to get ripe. They are also all over the lavender agastache. I love watching them - bright yellow - like sparks. :-)<br /><br />I feel bad for your friends' garden. They have my sympathies. :-(Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-74136642533643763042012-08-04T19:36:16.308-04:002012-08-04T19:36:16.308-04:00The bed is beautiful.
