Eight weeks of summer, five weeks of vacation, and I’ve barely touched anything in the garden. There’s always something else to do. I’ve got too many hobbies and interests I’m trying to keep up with, and something inevitably gets neglected.

As a result, parts of the garden are looking rather weedy. But here the weeds are all pretty, self-seeded perennials from the planting spreading to the cracks between the paving stones. And some actual weeds as well, to be fair.
