A shout out to all the other historians who love gardening out there. #histgarden #gardening #garden 🌷🌷🌷
A large azalea bush w light purple flower and beds in the foreground with day-lilies, hostas, and many, many weeds.
My azaleas are blooming. As for the rest of the beds? Weeds & things that need tending or pulling or transplanting. Was able to go out & do a couple of hours or yard work. Good for the body and the soul. No beauty shots here. Just a look at all the yard work ahead. #garden #histgarden
Flower bed on a slope with salmon-colored and burgundy day lilies.
90 degrees out here. But I am determined to put aside the news for a few hours. So much to do. #histgarden an alternative to #histgym today. Drinking buckets of water this evening.
View down a driveway and across a suburban street at a ranch house with the sun almost completely set behind it. Trees surround the house. Some daylilies along the driveway.
Love to be outside every year to observe the summer #solstice. If I am in Paris, it’s the Fête de la musique. If I am in ATL, then I usually do a long stint of yard work, a form of #histgym. A photo as the sun set & I wrapped up the evening. #histgarden
Salmon-colored day lilies in a flowerbed.
Peak daylily season in my garden. Can’t keep up with the work, the world is sh-t, but the flowers are glorious. #histgarden

Back yard w patch grass and flower beds on the sides.
Growing. Lol. That word is doing a lot of work. Rehabbing the section along the right. Long summer project ahead. Great episode btw. It’s going into my Jane Austen’s World course next yr. #histgarden
Red lilies in bloom.
Some of my favorite lilies are blooming now in ATL. Along w this morning’s earthquake, we are getting some much-needed rain. I’ll take it at this point. A few more late papers to come in & then the term is over! #histgarden for all the historians who love to garden. #skystorians #academicsky
wild geese flying north in a V formation.
Daffodils in my yard.
Last night my #workout was some heavy yard work. Was treated to the incredible sound of geese flying north and the sight of daffodils coming up all over. More yard work ahead today. #histgym #histgarden (historians who garden 😄) #skystorians #envhist
News from the garden. First harvest of grape tomatoes, first star lily & blue mist flowers. #histgarden
Photos: 1 before (1st) & 1 after (2nd). So many weeds, but am making progress (tho hard to see). A few intense hours of shoulder work again. #histgym & #histgarden combined.
💐🕷️Timeline cleanse: News from my Altlanta garden. 5 invasive Joro spiders dead. Several day lilies still blooming. And half a dozen landscaping projects to finish before spring. #histgarden even tho hashtags don’t work here.
