Summer 2007 Note August 17th: Since August 2006, I have had three leg injuries. My Wwoofers helped me to maintain the garden since then. In 2007, no annuals were planted and very few vegetable seed put in. However, come August, the garden is abloom with great perennials. This summer was not very sunny....so many things bloomed very late.	A little wild flower from last year's seeds just popped up to compensate for the Clematis that did not bloom yet this year.	The Ichenata that was eaten down to the ground by the groundhog and the deer last year, courageously came back.	The rose started early and was full of blooms, it is trying to take over the whole front garden.	This year the pink Hollyhock is too young to blossom, but the red one is on.	The Hosta was great this year. The deer only ate the one at the top of the hill. The Dahlia and gladiolas are not blooming yet!
Red Phlox, which was absolutely ravaged last year by the ground hog and the deer....is back.		Got to shoot the Pardacanda too late I guess.	Same with the rust coloured lilies on top of the rock garden.	Monkshood did come back after transplant.	Irish Eyes Rudbekia with a view on my new screened studio (finally after 14 years).
2006 Until the snow and ice went away, the Christmas Cactus bloom twice, January and May, 2006.	April 18, 2006, the crocuses. Summer 2006	June 8, 2006 Japanese Poppies. The deer already ate away all the tops of the Ichenatia, bee balm and my salmon and red phlox.	The first time I bought annual asters.	The red phlox bloomed despite the deer even though a bit less flowers.	Liatris was happy. Two vegetable gardens this year, in the hope that the groundhog and deer will leave at least half for me.
Photos taken mid-August. This year I plucked the red beetles off every morning, so the Tiger lilies were tremendous. Courageous Ichenatia grew a bit despite being chewed down by deer.	The Dahlia was half eaten by an ant hill.	The perennial Gladiola came back. The 2nd vegetable garden has many fine herbs too.	Irish Eyes Rudbekia is still in bloom since June. Baby phlox planted by Katja are growing.	Pardacanda is another wonderful surprise. Bought at the end of last summer, came back bigger and healthy. Another lovely flower bought this summer is the Croximia (red).	The surprise of this summer is this plant. When dead-headed gives new blooms. It is called Campanule takesimana Elisabeth Japonais Rose.
