In the Garden July 25, 2013 by KTgreen Lots of rain this year. Some of the plants are thriving, others are about finished. My yard is particularly happy with all the rain. Also very high since it’s too wet to mow! There’s not much left of my vegetable and herb garden. Too hot. But this thyme plant is loving the weather. Daylilies are just about done. As I mentioned last week, the Eastern Swallowtail butterfly has been busy on the parsley. Here’s a caterpillar that I found. Pink dipladenia and white mandevilla love the sun and the trellis. Don Juan Rose The shade garden is a little sparse this year because a redbud tree died and it had to be removed. Plants need to spread over to that area.
