A walk around my yard this afternoon

[Kittyzee]

Just some day lily pics and asiatics-- a pic of my knockout roses

And a couple of planters--everything is in full summer bloom!  It's so early for most of this stuff, what will my gardens look like in mid July and August?

Looking very nice! Everything is very late here this year. The lilies are just starting to bloom at least a month later than normal. We are just now finally getting warmer.

Maryvonne, it's been so hot so early this year--today 90 and the same for tomorrow.  Lots of rain too.  We are running about 3 weeks ahead of schedule:  by my gardening clock and the farming one too!

Nice to see your garden blooming with all kinds of color this time of the year.  Our Spring colors are fading and the summer colors are arriving here.

Very pretty.  I love the knock-out roses.  I have one......and it has fizzled this year.......guess I better buy another.

I've been lucky with mine--the only thing I have to do is spray it with a systemic insect spray maybe once a month--no aphids or japanese bean beetles.  I don't like spraying anything and I won't spray around my pond at all, but in order to keep the bean beetles from killing this plant, I do it.   

Oh, you need to get another one....

Beautiful flowers!!!

I am in the same predicament and have been saying the same thing - with everything blooming so very early here in my zone 6 as well, I'm afraid there will be nothing left come late July/August!

beautiful!  Love the combinations.

I am like you.. my goldenrod is already blooming. Gardens gonna be plum ugly in a few weeks.
