late bloomer

This will probably be the last iris of the season. We went around to all the beds this afternoon and cut off the stalks with the withered flowers. The roses are beginning to diminish too, especially the ones with the most sun, and the annual wildflowers are starting to come out. Afternoons are getting hot now, although they've been tempered a little with some clouds and showers.

In our vegetable garden we've got a lone tomato and quite a few peppers. The potatoes are thriving and the carrots are coming along, but somebody is eating our lettuce.
