I planted bulbs in the spring for summer bloom. Hungry squirrels ate most of them. The survivors are gracing our deck with tall Gladius and enormous Dahlias.
Our Hatha Yoga community members express their delight over their blooming colors: vibrant scarlet and deep crimson. Neighbors both in the building, as well as on our street have shared their appreciation for the beautification. No one loves it more than we do, as we sit among them during this warm summer enjoying our smoothies. 
What did you plant while the weather was still cool and damp?  Did any of your efforts succeed? Ki to Happiness sits and sips among the successful survivors.
