Gardening, anyone?

I will give the tomatoes a try! I am going to dry my okra seeds and try planting them next year. No one eats it in my family but me but I can give it away. The plants are beautiful and have the prettiest blooms.

I am also trying to dry and collect seeds for next year. I’ve had moderate success with lettuce seeds from last year. I saved some heirloom tomato seeds, some cukes, and I’m trying to save some beans from my best plant. I’ve got one huge pod that I’m just leaving on the plant.

The gardens are finishing up here, with the exception of kale and peppers. Kinda looking forward to clearing them out. Things are either sad and finished or overgrown and going to seed

Cpeachymom, wonderfull flowers!! I also like to save seeds of various veggies or flowers...

I went chasing sqirrels today 😀 I mean gathering walnuts 😀 The beasts are taking them by the dozens!! I chased several away, but they were deffinitelly back when I turned my back.

But still got some

and my aunt brought some of her veggies, received our honey in exchange. Picture taken after I'd already made and eaten a salad 😁

Oh Teka, just beautiful. Those are wonderful gardens. Did you go to Maine to leaf peep too?

Enerva ..What a beautiful dahilia 🌞

Wow! That is gorgeous! I'll look for one here. They are pretty much summer only here, but that one would be totally worth it.

M0mmyof2,

We placed all our green tomatoes in brown boxes, covered with brown paper, and waited. I still have some turning red!

Not exactly a flower ...but I took this photo in my garden yesterday..

Lucy55- do the kangaroos eat your flowers?

Dodgersgirl ..The Kangaroos will eat some of the plants .. in really dry periods ..If there's natural green pick around they aren't interested ..

Lucy55, as it is spring/summer where you live, I'm very looking forward to seeing lots of flowers and green....and wildlife! Thank you for sharing your great pics!

We had some wild weather here on the coast yesterday. This is hail all over my deck after the storm- very unusual here

GMAfoley- that is a beautiful photo.

Peachy- we had 2 inches of rain overnight, in a place that gets 8 inches a year. It has been crazy over here too. Get ready as this is a soaker and coming your way......

jazzy- that must’ve been crazy! Two inches overnight is a lot for most places, never mind the desert! Does it just soak into the soil or did you get mudslides and such? Sorry for my ignorance.
