It has taken some time but my holyhocks have finally produced blooms.
For some reason I thought they were going to be dark purple but these have more of a tequila sunrise quality.
In any case they add a little something to the space beside the back porch.
I have also planted another one this year in behind this one. This label says it will be pink, purple, or yellow so we will wait an see.
We finally stained the picnic table but it can be said that the colour is not reflective of the name of the stain.
I considered calling this post, “Redwood my ass” but thought better of it when thinking about what search terms would be used that combined “wood” and “ass”.
We have had the table for a year but just got around to staining it. It has darkened somewhat but not to a degree I would call redwood.
