There was not much deadheading to do, as flowers are getting to peak. I trimmed the bearded (old fashioned) iris yesterday to about 4 - 6 inches. I also trimmed the spent flowers from hostas and heucheras. I used several dozen Y stakes on perennials that are getting tall or starting to lean too much. I added some more 8 foot stakes for the scarlet runner beans.
There are a lot of little weeds to hoe or pull (always!). I got the front beds done - for now. I need to get to the back.
My sister sent me a lion fountain that I put near my new flower bed. She noticed that a lot of homes in Des Moines have lions, so sent this for my birthday.
