Some warm days last week: 30C day on Thursdayy, but a good breeze, and shade was cooler-- I did some weeding (in sunny spots probably over 30C!) and mowing in the afternoon..#flowers and insects didn't mind #CanGarden🇨🇦 #NAmericanGardeners #July #SummerDays #Alberta

@plants #florespondence #SixOnSaturday the weather seems to be heading in a warmer, somewhat drier direction- the moisture has been good for recharging wetlands etc, and we have the mosquitoes to show for it 😆#CanGarden🇨🇦 #NAmericanGardeners #Alberta #July #seedgrown
