 |
| A variety of scabiosa aka pin cushion flower. |
 |
| Our lilies are starting to open up. Very fragrant. |
 |
| These lilies add lots of height to the raised beds. |
 |
| Dark pink centers in these pale pink phlox are cute and draw your eye in. The white dangling flowers is from one of the hosta. |

 |
| Today's summer squash pickings. |
 |
| Anna made this rustic and somewhat savory dessert with basil on top. Sooooo good! |
 |
| Anna used her spiralizer and made a wonderful cold salad with different colors of round zucchini. Really good. |
 |

 |
| A bunch of small beets going in with the berries. |
 |
| My college friend, Terry, writes Basil on the bags before we fill them. |

 |
| And even more. |
 |
| Triple Crown blackberries are the latest blackberry to ripen. They are getting a bit of color. They are also our largest blackberry when they are ripe. |

 |
| Blueberries changing color. |
 |

 |
| Sweet peas have started to bloom. |
 |

 |
| Our flower pots are enjoying a bit of shade. We do place all the hanging baskets on buckets in the shade and water them after hanging in the hot air for the day. |
 |
| The other row of lilies are blooming their heads off, too. |
 |
| A red coneflower variety called Tomato. |
 |
