August in the Garden

I feel like August passed me by quicker than usual, and not in a good way. The weather was either too rainy or to hot to get outside and weed, or I had other commitments (like evening karate classes twice a week for myself and my son).

The Altheas are self-sowing, and I honestly don’t really mind. It looks like the main purple one may have died this year, but other purple seedlings that I didn’t yank up last year are blooming this year. I’m OK with that, even if they’re a little crowded. Maybe I’ll prune them into a hedge and get rid of the front fence someday.
