With the weather being cool one week, then blistering the next, my garden (and I) are confused. The only things that are prolific at the moment are the grasshoppers.

Can anyone tell me to what plant this flower belongs? I have two small plants in a long planter with my zuchini (won’t do that again) that never grew very tall, but there are now large blossoms.

My squash took off with the greenery all of a sudden after not producing much for a week and now I have four small squashes to look forward to
eating.


The watermelon planted next to the squash started out like gang-busters and had three melons, but only one reached any size at all…then the vines died. We cut it open last night to find a wonderful aroma, lots of adult seeds, but not much in the meat department.



 Most of my floral hanging baskets are in fair shape….



My pepper ring produced well. This photo was taken just after DD picked all of the bells off of the front pepper plant.

But…this is what most of the rest of my “garden” looks like…
