A Productive Garden Day!

Colorado Butterfly Plant
(Gaura neomexicana coloradensis)

There are times when the weather and this gardener's energy level seem to complete harmony; this morning proved to be a terrific garden time! :-)

I was able to clear most of the garden of the unwanted wild sweet pea weed. (Or at least that is what I call it.) And, I was able to reshape the "trenches" I dug as a border and preventative measure of keeping out the Bermuda grass.

Even as I hoped to get some planting done, the Oklahoma heat reminded me that it was not a good idea until later. It is full-blown summer 'round here and I truly hope to get the bedding plants in the soil by this weekend!
