Trees and Shrubs:
 |
| Big Jay in the Pear Tree |
Big Jay has decided that it is his job to protect the pears from the birds and squirrels.
But don't worry - he is too fat and lazy to actually catch anything.
 |
| Rose of Sharon |
The Rose of Sharon shrubs continue to bloom well despite the Summer's heat.
 |
| Swallowtail Butterfly on Butterfly Bush |
The Butterfly Bush is the most popular spot in the garden.
Vegetables:
 |
| My okra is growing so tall I can barely reach it. |
We have two kinds of okra: 'Clemson Spineless' and 'Cow Horn'
 |
| Sweet Cayenne Pepper |
The Sweet Cayenne peppers are out-producing the Jalapeno peppers.
 |
| 'Improved Taylor' Beans |
I first planted 'Improved Taylor' beans early in May and harvested in July.
This is my second crop, planted in mid-July.
 |
| 'Super Fantastic' Tomatoes |
The tomato vines are looking a bit ragged, but are still making tomatoes.
However, the tomatoes are not as large as they were in July.
Flowers:
 |
| Mums |
It seems too early for Chrysanthemums to be blooming, but the buds are beginning to open.
 |
| 'Homestead Purple' Verbena |
I've been very pleased with this hardy Verbena I bought in the Spring.
It has really spread out and bloomed all Summer.
 |
| Encore Azalea |
I'm excited to see that the Encore Azalea is blooming again!
Have a wonderful week-end!
