I have zero and I've seen them on so many blogs lately.<br />Can't believe your Aster is blooming already. I'm going to go look at mine and see if there are even buds.<br />Sounds like lots of yummy fruit to eat around your yard.

Love the pink cone flowers and your pink phlox; I don't have that color but must get some. We are in Washington state, but our phlox and black-eyed susan are not bloomed out yet. And, I have never seen sleeping bumble bees :).

Years ago we lived in a house with a big yard full of apple and pear trees. <br /><br />My 'David' that I planted last fall started blooming this week.

I'll try again..your garden flowers all look so lush and healthy. Beautiful garden phlox..what is the name of the darker pink one? Love it! David..does his blooms stay as white as they are in the picture or do they start turning diry white when he's been blooming a long time? My neighbor up the street has one in shade and it's doing well. Her yard is like a neat jungle. <br /><br />The Summer Sky coneflower goes on my 2011 wish list after seeing yours!<br /><br />That Aster "Monch" is the prettiest I've ever seen. Always been afraid to plant aster because a lot of people said they were invasive and I'd be sorry. Does that reseed a lot? The pink butterfly bush is so pretty..is that Miss Ruby variety?<br /><br />In the flowerbed where the lupine, liatris, tall verbena on a stick, and the coneflowers are, what are the colored flowerpots on a green stake for? Yard decoration for adding color?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing these pics with us. They gave me a lot of inspiration.Betty819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-7767876801859342042010-07-31T13:08:46.033-07:002010-07-31T13:08:46.033-07:00Those Phlox are gorgeous!

I am curious about your organic rose spray - nearly all the leaves of most of my poor neglected roses succumbed to the worst black spot ever, and I did nothing but watch in horror. I keep thinking to get rid of them but then I am too lazy. I'm glad yours recovered with your expert care! Pears look delicious - must be so satisfying to have real fruit from the garden after only a short time! Hope you guys have a fun weekend.Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-91830984391601046162010-07-31T10:24:15.227-07:002010-07-31T10:24:15.227-07:00The echinacea are stunning.

I'll have more time to visit everyone tomorrow, but can't wait to see what everyone has blooming.<br /><br />Alison - You're funny, definitely just hoping they just ripen and then we'll see, maybe a tart or something.<br /><br /><br />Suzy - This is a Desert King fig and we've had it about 4 years. It probably took a good 3 years to start getting much. It's in a raised bed about 3x3x3 feet. It's gotten Huge this year. I think as long as you have one that's good for the PNW you'll get some figs in another year or so. Now we have so many I don't know what to do with them.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-45503440086411219072010-07-30T20:01:50.808-07:002010-07-30T20:01:50.808-07:00Things are looking beautiful in your garden.
