It’s an annual tradition:  we put in our vegetable garden over Memorial Day weekend.  This year there was a twist: we planted annuals in one of the flowerbeds in the front.

The annuals looked kind of sad yesterday; shock and heat took its toll.  I watered them and they bounced back.

Of course, we had our annual evidence of wildlife messing with our garden.  Namely a marigold was plucked out of the ground.  Luckily it was nearby so I put it back in the ground.  Damn starlings.  They have a long rich history of messing with our plants.
