Gardens snapshot


These yellow daisies have barely bloomed to this point


The Sunpatiens have not performed well this year either, but changed the watering from 10min, 2x a day to  20min, 4x a day.


These appear to be the red spear flowers from last year.

Blackberries with all the deterrents. Although there are fewer berries in late July, they are huge.


These should be vining plants to grow around mailbox post. Have been slow to start.



Sunflowers are 'done', need to remove. Finally, the first dahlia bloomed!

Nothing yet from the saffron

Last year's marigold seed. Plants growing slowly, no blossoms.

This week I picked all jalapenos. Did so because it appeared that once I had picked a banana pepper, new blossoms appeared. Picked most banana and jalapeno peppers.
