| Scotch broom |
At a far front corner of the yard there are plantings I call my electric garden. These plants were here when we moved in, and they surround a large electrical box.
This is the garden in mid-May. Two red Scotch broom shrubs bloom at the back corners of the electrical box. Scotch broom is considered invasive in some states, particularly out west.

At the front of the box in mid-May daisies and milkweed are starting to grow.

In mid-June the Scotch broom is done blooming, and the daisies and milkweed are starting to blossom.

Now in July, the daisies and milkweed are in fulll bloom.

Here is a close-up of a milkweed blossom. The bees love it.

| daisies |
The daisies seem so bright and cheerful. I think I will cut some and bring them into the house. We need some cheering up here. It has been raining everyday for almost two weeks. We have had ten inches of rain in June. I need some sun!
