I finally saw my first hummingbird moth in my garden! I've read about them, and seen pictures of them online but never up close. As it always turns out, my camera was nowhere near me the moment I noticed this fascinating creature gathering nectar from my liatris flowers. Although I didn't get any pictures, I have the experience which is all that matters. I have also seen butterflies and hummingbirds enjoying my selection of pollinator friendly plants this month. Everything from the chickens on the farm to the tomatoes in the garden seem to be thriving in this hot summer heat. Daylily season has come and gone, now I'm eagerly awaiting dahlia and sunflower season! A sunflower already started blooming in my front garden! Come take a look at the latest happenings below.

My 366 So Far
The corn is getting nice and tall in my vegetable garden. I've been picking beans daily and enjoying the beauty of the vibrant marigolds scattered here and there. The ducks and geese have been enjoying daily swims in the pond to keep cool. Finn is continuing to be the best guard goose on the farm. How are you keeping cool this summer? Anything fun growing in your garden? Let me know in the comment section below or tweet me @thefreckledrose. Hope you are are enjoying these dog days of summer!

I have difficulty reading the captions under your pictures, (not dark enough for my older eyes), but it looks like you’ve got a lot growing!
Thank you for sharing your outdoor post on The Maple Hill Hop!

I didn’t click on the moth link (I have a phobia of moths), but I’ve heard they’re they’re a great sight as well, glad you finally got to see one.
I also want to add great work on your 366! I’m definitely going to meander through, I love seeing others projects 🙂
