Days alternating between hot and 'June gloom' cool. Gardens are definitely edging into early summer. Spectacular right now are the several species of buckwheat, Blue elderberry, Cliff aster, California verbena, Southwestern mock vervain and some late spring bulbs. These pictures are from 6/17/2018.
