Not everything wilts in this sultry heat of summer's dog days. The lilies are all exploding with blooms and softly scenting the air.
If you are looking for a reliable blooming plant year after year, then plant a lily bulb or ten. It couldn't be easier: dig a hole, place the bulb in and that's it! Their first year is not impressive, but they just get better year after year.
We have visitors in town: the cicadas just arrived. The singing is getting loud outside!

This is also the time of year to continue to sow seeds. They pop up very quickly now as the soil is nicely warmed up. We planted lettuce and arugula here as a flower bed border a couple of weeks ago and are harvesting our salads nightly now. The terra cotta pot on the left hosts more basil for the fall pesto.
