an evening tour of my garden on the first day of summer

just taking you on a tour of my summer garden around 9pm on the longest day of the year.june 21,2009.sunrise 5:35am sunset 8:59pm.this was twlight time when i made this.then my battery went.just got doen adding more flowers lilies,achilla,shasta daisies and more.the other flowers will open soon later this month and a month from now.rose of sharon,hollyhock,black eyed susan,lilies more daylilies ,evening rose of sharon trees ,evening primrose and purple conflowers.also a light pink rose bush my grandfather planted back in the 60's way before i was born.also my vegtable garden which this was the first year i planted it on the side for more room.usually it was along the fence were my mint is but the mint took up everything so my plants need more room even if there wasn;t any mint there.i even have chocolate mint which is pretty rare.hopefully my new hydrenga i got a year ago.who knows if it will bloom our winters have been way too cold.in fact there was a frost on june 1st.im a month behind in planting because of all this.i have been gardening for 10 years and loving it.back then i was planting flowers and seeds in early may.
