It has been so hot and dry. I need to water the veggie garden more. Our rain catching tank does not have good water pressure even though it is located at a higher elevation than the garden. Need to learn more about this.
I love this flower. It is not only beautiful. It is hardy. But, the plant is very aggressive and will spread even if you do not want it to. Only grow this vine if you want a huge vine and many of them. It also produces a fruit, but I have not tried it. I just found out it was edible this year. I can’t wait to try it. I thought it was like a gourd. Although, I recently found out you can eat gourds too. Always learning.
English thyme, lemon thyme and chocolate mint – must haves for marinating meat and mojitos. Thanks to my hubby for the awesome hanging basket. Made by him/hand so will last forever.
Mammoth sunflowers are easy to grow from seed. Of course, they are a lot prettier before they go to seed. But isn’t it neat? You can see each little seed if you look closely. The best part about these is watching red Cardinals eating the seeds. I tried to catch a picture of this, but was unsuccessful. They are too fast. I love nature.
