The summer chicory is here.
There is a lily that held its bloom through a Blackberry Winter. Very few others did.
Morning in the wild cultivated gardens.
Feral parsnips and dill mix with roses and poppies.
It's a flower cacophony in there while I wait for the fine produce to form.
Wild leeks are completely surrounded by daylilies.
Some quality time and attention has been helping the fine produce along. The very day after this picture was taken, I woke to find some damn varmint had spent the night rooting through the mulch looking for worms and bugs. The plants were untouched. Some minor collateral damage.
A 250lb pig could not possibly be that tidy for such a mess. I am beginning to wonder if armadillos have arrived this far north. I need a critter cam.
In the meantime, three acres of wild cultivated gardens that now includes the roadside vegetable garden continue to be liberally sprayed with hot pepper water. The deer have worn out their welcome. Get Off My Lawn!
They don't eat the daylilies that I can tell. If they do, it's gonna be hot.
So it goes for Bloom Day.

Love the grasses and the chicory along the roadside. Best of luck with all the critters - hope they leave your garden alone. And Happy Bloom Day!
Chicory is an amazing color. I get a few plants in my grass once in a while. Such a shame the plant is so ugly! I noticed a lot of it in an empty lot not far from home. Chicory and queen Ann's lace both grew after they bulldozed.
