August 19

This month went by really fast.  When I got back from a week's absence, the front flowers did not look really good.  Some Miracle Gro and water perked them up.

The hydrangea is still alive. Debbie had to trim all the flowers but I can definitely see new bud coming.

The news is the vegetables.  The one row of lettuce keeps producing!  I've harvests green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini.  And made lots of pesto from my basil.

Tom bought me an eggplant plant, and two tomato plants for 50 cents. I planted them on July 19. Well, of all things, the tomato plants look good and I am getting an eggplant.

 The pictures above are from earlier in August.  Here are pictures from a few days ago. A couple comment:  i think some one might be eating my cherry tomatoes as I have a lot of them but they disappear. I don't think it is the Peter Rabbit who found a way into my yard. He could never get them. But it is odd. I do often go out and eat them like candy but not that often.  The other thing is that before I had zucchini and cukes, I had noticed lots of bees around the plants.  I was very  happy to see those as I knew they were pollinating.  here is the result:

I just went out to the garden and took more pictures.
