Plot #63, Roseville Community Garden, August 22, 2015. The 2015 garden season continues strong – and wet, and hot!

See the two images below […] Here are some more fine looking flowers that are blooming in my friend Katie’s Monarch Waystation plot (registered with Monarch Watch) at Roseville Community Garden.
