These are the Russian Yellow seeds I bought and I started the whole package, but they were very small and weak compared to all the other hollyhocks. I still have some small plants that might bloom this year.

The double bloom, I just looked back some of the seeds I planted and I forgot some and I have another one that I thought was black when it opened it is dark red and a double bloom. I did plant 2 different kinds that have double blooms, Summer Carnival and Fordhook Giant. I bought so many seeds...

I went out and looked and saw yellow hollyhocks and ran and got my camera and they do not look yellow in the picture.

I have no idea how it got there. Thank you.

I had my coffee and breakfast. It will be cooler today. The rabbit already has her ice jug. I pulled the garlic. I put them in the garage for now. The are purple stripe hard neck. I have around 20 some. I planted DD's for her the same time for her because she was pregnant. I think she has...

I took a picture of this hollyhock and put a black background so you could really see it. Is this a double bloom hollyhock?

My post back in Feb. about the compost around the flowers, well it did work. I have new delphinium and a couple of new coneflwoers. I have David phlox and they are taller and I have a couple of new little ones. There are a lot of hollyhocks that were planted late summer. DD has a couple really...

Drinking coffee and had breakfast, which was really too heavy feeling. I had Malt-O-Meal with salt and butter and 2 boiled eggs. I went through the garden earlier and I think I over watered last night. I almost thought it had rained. I pulled breakfast for the rabbit of many different things...

I had coffee and found lots of raspberries. I went around on the other side and ate a bunch of them. The garden is really growing. I saw a black hollyhock that has opened and a purple cosmos. A black-eyed Susan is almost open.

I am so sorry. I lost my best friend 2 years ago and we had been friends for 50 years.

I am still drinking coffee and being lazy. We have been getting rain on and off all morning. It is 60 degrees. I went out and fed the rabbit and looked at the garden and it is really wet out. I found 1 red raspberry to eat.

I had my coffee and I brought in all the red Russian kale and got it blanched and in the freezer. I beat the aphids. Usually I wait too long and aphids ruin most of the red Russian. I left some of the curly leave kale out there. We have used some in soup lately and I give a leaf now and then to...

I looked up wild delphinium and found rocket larkspur and it sure looks like it. I took a few more pictures. The white is growing right next to the beans, so I cut the picture trying to not show bean leaves.

Where it is located, I had to have planted it there. I have another purple one in another place with a white one next to it. DS took a picture for me and said it was a delphinium and it is not. What can it be?

Coffee done and I have been out tying up tomato plants and putting more strings up for the beans. Going back out to see what else needs to be done. It is 73 degrees, so it is very nice outside.
