Pollinator pics of the day - bees

My favorite photos of bees this year - bees in Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb' and Alstroemeria:




Now I'm headed out to do some deadheading. I'll cut some flowers to bring inside. I'm looking at some lovely peach dahlias that will make a nice bouquet.

It's a nice time for gardening. Most of the tasks are easy - wandering around deadheading and picking the occasional weed and watering containers. I always say I'm going to plant fewer containers but end up with dozens. At least we have most of them set up with drip irrigation this year.

I continue my ongoing battle with crabgrass, which I am hand-pulling in my little lawn (maybe 800 square feet).
