    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.

    Vicky- at least half of my tomato crop this year was surprise plants! I had so many coming up I had to thin them to the strongest, biggest plants.

    I have a Rose of Sharon bush on front of my house that is huge. I’m pretty sure it’s three separate bushes that grew together. It has three different colored flowers depending which side you’re looking at.

    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

    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.

    Garden stopped producing tomatoes last week so I harvested the last of what was growing. Hubby did the tear down this week while he took a week of vacation from work to get stuff done here and at his parents house.

    M0mmyof2,

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

    Replaced my spider plant that died with a new one. Hubby helped me transplant it into the new pot.

    Yes Lucy, me too as my gardens are going to sleep soon. We will have a frost soon and already had some snow here last week with an early blast of winter. Bring on the photos from the southern hemisphere!

    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.
