This past week has been a bit of a blur trying to grow a little Juniper, most of my time in the garden has been observation rather than interaction.

What's growing on with you all? I hope your gardens are bringing you joy

I sort of took a year off of gardening, but some of my perennials are doing great. My Jasmine is growing a lot. It's gotten to the window above the trellis. I might need to consider trimming it. I don't know if it's actually bad for the house or not lol.

I've seen a lot of wildlife. I saw a spider that caught a dragonfly right outside my window. That was amazing to see. Plus I saw a opossum last night (my favorite animal).

Dang, what a catch! I don't know as I've ever seen a dragonfly caught, that's wild

But also of course it's an orb weaver. What an incredible picture, thank you for sharing it!
