    I can see the mosquitoes darting in front of your camera as you walk, they look huge. Your August garden is looking lovely. The coneflower in front of the black lace elderberry look so nice together. The deer and fawn are so sweet!

    SOLEIL, TIP: I ALWAYS PUT A TARP under the hedges I trim. Makes clean up easy.

    Glad you are on the other side of Covid, go slow, especially in this muggy heat! We have been blasted with heat, humidity and mosquitos. Your garden looks just beautiful, so many textures and colors, it is lush! As always, thank you for sharing your artistic flare and garden talents,I need more Allium!👍❤️Gail

    I sometimes wear a veil on my hat to keep those annoying bugs away. Fortunately I haven’t been attacked by a teradactyl yet. I’ve got many of these plants in my garden after being introduced by you. My fav, Pinky Winky. Glad you’re feeling better.

    I think it’s so funny you said that mosquito looked like a pterodactyl! LOL, I’ve been describing the ones around my house “straight outta Jurassic park!” It’s made it very difficult to be out in the garden. So thank you for giving us the tour! Everything looks beautiful! 😊♥️

    I've been watching your garden over the last few years and please take this compliment from my sincerest perspective, I think this is the best your garden has looked!! It's always been lovely, however this tour really showed off its growth. Your hydrangeas are amazing and the plants are so complimentary to each other.
    I aspire to the cohesiveness I think you've achieved this year especially.
    P.S. I too am recovering from covid. This was my first bout with it and I'm shocked how energy zapping it is. Feel better!!

    I put down an old sheet under bushes that need trimming, and after the job is complete, I just have to pick it up and shake it out in the dump pile. It was a game changer for the clean up aspect of the job. I don't have all that raking after.😊 js

    Hello Soleil. Glad your feeling better. Try not to overdo yourself in the garden. The garden is looking fantastic for sure. Your lawn is looking great. Ours is about 50/50 ish. Lol. Do you prune the daylilies back when they’re done blooming. The bottoms can look so dry and knarly. 🌾. Take care! 🌸🌿🌺💚

    My 1st shrub that I planted is a hibiscus 🌺. I was gone for 2 days and the squirrels 🐿️ that live in the big tree in front of my house ate all of the buds on the hibiscus. I was soo mad. I just planted some fragrant plants under and around it. I hope that it works 🙏.

    Hi Soleil, when your daises are finished blooming do you typically just dead head or do you Chelsea chop?
    While I love the fresh blooms of my banana cream daisies they don’t seem to last for very long and I really wish I could get them to re-bloom.
    Your garden is looking so beautiful 🙂

    • @Suburbanoasis

      I've been trying both methods and I haven't decided on one, but neither seems to get me much in terms of reblooms....
