The garden beckons!!  Even when it is raining I’m drawn to work in the front or back yard.  Because I still have plants that need to go from nursery container to a large planter, I worked at the corner of my patio.  Tropical storm “Andrea” is dumping heavy rain on us.  It is really quite pleasant, weather-wise, and I want transplanted plants to benefit from Miracle Gro soil and rain water.  Red petunias are now in the urn.  Yesterday I transplanted marigolds and zinnias to the planter below the Bluebird house.  

Note the new blooms on earlier plantings: Asian Lily, Bachelor Button and Mandavilla. Sweet Potato Vines are thriving!! Squirrel is enjoying a drink of water from one of the fountains.
