Is this yours blooming? Is that native to your part of the world?
Sunflowers opening.
I hate going out in the morning and discovering the damage the deer do. I put some more pinwheels in the pots, hoping this will deter them. They seem to work. The plants the deer seem to like best are my begonias.
That "path" is actually where the french drain is. We had to install those on the mountain side of the house. The grass dries up quickly there.

I love the sun flowers. A pretty picture of your yard.
A difficulty of living in a pasture is defining the wild area and the tame area. In lieu of fencing, a buffer area works best. This side gets mowed, that side is "managed". The sunflowers form part of the buffer area.

There is an area 40 minutes from me that sunflowers grow along the road with the minimum rain we get. I want to pick up the seeds and bring them back home. I would love to have them in my yard. I never seem to time it right to collect the seeds.
Deluge and hail yesterday. Oh, dear. Must wait until the sun comes out to see what can be salvaged. We needed the rain badly, but no one likes hail.

I hope all is good
Lots of damage. I'm still pruning and figuring out what can be saved. But most things are recovering well.
I am a member of Vintage Garden group on FB and it is getting me into lots of trouble! I keeping dragging things out of my stash and figuring out how to get them into the garden! This week I found this cool rock pedestal. A cactus looks perfect in it.

Looks nice. Sorry to hear about your damage.
The nematodes have reared their ugly heads again; our plan of leaving the tires fallow for a year did not work. From gorgeous, lush growth the okra plants have all died this week except one, and I'm sure it is doomed. Because we have an elaborate enclosed garden with a drip system we hate to abandon it, so we are going to try using mineral tubs on top of the tires. Whoever that wise guy is that said "plant your own food" needs to come and chat with me. The photo is the roots of the okra a pulled up today. Notice all the encrusted nematodes. It is discouraging.
But on a better note, my cacti are gorgeous and blooming and the bird of paradise, which I grew from seed, by the pot is covered with blooms this year.

My peach jam got a blue at the Fair! Apples also got a blue. I made a cake using my neighbor's zucchini and it got Champion. DEElish!
