If you look back to my post
of June 23rd (Gramma the Ditch Digger - Part III) of this year, you will see that I talked about sticking a rose cane
into a potato, planting both of them, and I would (should) have a new rose plant.
Well……….
Take a look at this photo.
The little plant on the right and the bigger one to the left. Do they look like
roses to you or potatoes? I’m going spuds!

Now, I need your help
identifying this plant.

I think it’s a weed, but I
left it to grow just to see what it would do. The condo landscaper guys cut
down my ornamental peppers, but they were careful not to touch this. Go figure!
What is it?
My two hanging basket plants,
two varieties of petunia, have died. Don’t know why. They got plenty of water
and fertilizer, but they didn’t last. Next year I’m not going to bother with
hanging baskets. Everything I do will be in the ground.
Up on the deck (just check
out photos I’ve posted before) the begonias, upright fuchsia and vinca are all
spectacular.
I’m picking tomatoes now. So
far this month I’ve picked about a dozen. One batch weighed in at 28 oz, which
I processed and froze. That will either be cream of tomato soup or spaghetti
sauce. I have another 2 lbs ready to be processed. All the while I have plenty
to slice up with cukes and a dressing made up of sour cream and mayonnaise. Oh,
I’m getting hungry!
So, that’s it from the back
garden for now.
