What's going on in my garden

We just stepped into June and there already seems to be a lot of activities in the garden.

Arugula, mustard green, and kale are attacked by the flea Beatles.  There doesn't seem to be a good natural way to control this annoying bug.  I'm contemplating in creating a net to cover these veggies.


The swiss chard and broccoli are doing fine...so far.



The continuous rain these days is not so good for my flowers, but they still manage to be beautiful.

Dark purple Iris peeking through the Beauty Plant.  (Yes, beauty plant is its name.)


The lighter coloured Iris is falling all over the place, crushing the poor green onions.  I had to stake them.  Though the flowers already got mud all over.


My pepper field.  I found which can be the very first pepper of the year!



And I may very well have my first (and only) peony flower after 5 years.


Clematis bloomed.  I bought the wrong type.  I don't think this one climbs higher than 3 feet.  I need to get one that climbs  at least 6 or 7 feet.


Snowball is covered with flowers this year.  With the rain, the branches are so top heavy.  I'm worried that it may break.


Bleeding heart is also growing big.  Looking great and matches the white bell flower from Solomon Seal.


Lastly, but definitely not the least, my gorgeous sieboldii magnolia.
