Our drought continues and my central Ohio 6b garden is looking decidedly crispy, plus most of the zinnias are covered in powdery mildew. But I managed to find six things to show.
This lantana that I've been growing in a pot since spring had stopped blooming some time ago, which made me sad. I moved it to a sunnier spot and it's blooming once again and bringing a much-needed pop of color.
My dahlias have taken a beating (teething more accurately) from the deer this year and most of them are currently in between blooms, but I found this single dahlia bloom, as did this bumble bee.
These rudbeckia are growing in a pot near the house so the deer have been leaving them alone and I really enjoy them.
More of these snapdragons I grew from seed are blooming now. I really like this mix.
These zinnias are also in a nearby pot and are still blooming and luckily powdery-mildew free unlike my zinnias that are in the ground.
That's my six this week. Visit Garden Ruminations to see what's happening in other gardens around the world.
