This was taken just a few days ago from our own garden. They are, indeed, newly planted! This was actually the second batch this year: The first batch was just seeds, I believe, and the deer or squirrels swiped 'em all! That's the problem with living out in the country! ha! I must admit, though, I do love seeing the deer! ...and the squirrels too, for that matter! ha! We actually have two varieties of squirrels that come around: both the regular, brown-colored ones and then the black. I had never seen black squirrels before moving to Wisconsin! What a new sight that was to see! My dog loves to chase the squirrels off, and that I don't mind! He would chase the deer too, if I gave him half a chance! ha! I won't let him out when the deer are around. I enjoy seeing them too much!
Well, so far, the coneflowers have survived! ha! Hope you all enjoy!
