August 8 2024 a big cool down

 I have to say that the garden that has done the best except for slow dahlias and the hydrangea died, zinnia seeds did great and the small dahlias from Walmart were very lush.  Other seeds worked as well.

But the zucchini, small ones that did not grow.  Cucumbers are coming in and hiding but I have made 9 jars of pickles. Even the canned ones that popped are in the refrigerator.

I will not buy peppers or from Walmart again.  The peppers were labeled mini peppers but all are poblano.  I made one recipe, stuffed with rice and meat, but not sure what else to do with them.

Green beans have been good.  Only a few Japanese beetles on them but more on the cosmos. Thankfully not too many in Mama's Garden.

The impatiens at the north did great.  I've made about a dozen zucchini breads.  Tom has filled the freezer so not much room for those

9 jars so

powdery mildew has since set in

I cut the tops of the coleus in the blue boxes and rooted these two

This calla Lily survived, not the purple one
