Late Lilacs
This is the latest that I've seen lilacs blooming that I can remember. This has been a weird gardening season. Over three days, seven inches of rain fell here. The rain has compacted my garden's soil, and everything is waterlogged. We were lucky because we lost power for just five hours after strong storms. My bok choy and spinach plants have bolted before they were ready to harvest. (I will collect seeds for a fall crop.) Many seeds have simply rotted in the ground. I had grand plans for my garden this year, like every year, but mother nature has the last word. I chose this photo because if you look carefully, you'll see two bumblebees. We love lilacs!
