Lilies and a logo

This garden update is brought to you by a new down-to-earth logo (above! ^) and the letter "R" — rain and robin. Both of which have kept me inside for most of the month.

Mama robin became a vigilante, swooping down on anyone who dared to walk near her nest under the deck. This meant the patio garden, upper deck and most of the backyard were danger zones. But the babies are finally flying now so here's hoping they fly far, far away.

At least the rain (7.75 inches!) offered me a consolation prize of beautiful lily blooms.

The tall tiger lilies are a me-pleaser.

The aptly named rain lilies are thriving.

Strawberry Candy daylily looks good enough to eat.

I got a Dark Sensation oriental lily from a greenhouse clearance this year. He's adding some pink pop to the front yard.

The teeny tiny Samurai toad lilies bloomed! I hope his buddies follow his example.

The garden edibles are ripenin' for the pickin' ...

Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes ... in the Topsy Turvy

Early Girl tomatoes

We are now waiting for the sweet pimiento pepper to turn red. The green bell pepper plants are not doing so hot.

And cucumbers are just crazy cool to watch.
