Gardening, anyone?

By definition, a weed is an unwanted plant. If you like it enough to transplant it, it is not a weed.

thank you both for your input !!

Adding aclose up. I realized you can’t see the bloom very well in the other picture.

I am not good at identifying plants.

I'm trying to get a hummingbird moth pic this summer. They fly during the daytime, hovering briefly at flowers to sip nectar.

The bush green bean plants are in bloom.

The scallions are delicious.

We covered the 3 grape tomato plants in the support cages with a plastic net. Damn deer!

Almost squished by a fallen apple tree limb.

TwoHobbies, I'm not sure, but that pretty plant with the fuschia flower might be a variegated baby rose plant.

TwoHobbies,

Yes, the bush green bean plants are doing well in the plant boxes.

The chipmunks, red squirrels and gray squirrels don't bother the plants.

However, the chipmunks kept uncovering the seeds until sprouted. They ate none, but kept me busy!

Yes. It was growing all over the fence at my clients site parking area

Jazzy and Gumdoctor, Thank You!!

I love this tranquil thread. I spent many long winter nights scrolling through the pages.

So far no sighting of a hummingbird moth.

Such beautiful pictures! I'm inspired to get out today in this sunny but cooler than usual August weather and do some much needed work in my gardens, which are looking a bit tired and neglected as well as sparse from all of the nibbling that a beautiful doe and her two adorable fawns have been doing all summer long!

I have never heard of a hummingbird moth, but I will have to keep my eye open for them. I Googled them and found that they are in my area, so maybe I will be fortunate enough to see one. We built our house on 11 wooded acres, so I do get to see all kinds of beautiful birds, butterflies, moths and other wildlife, including the occasional brown bear, oh my!! I have been on the lookout for any luna moths; a few summers ago there was one outside our kitchen door one night, but I have not seen one again since. It was absolutely gorgeous! The picture is not that great since it was taken through a window at night. I'd love to see one again.

April1964, That's the same kind-the luna moth. You got a great shot of it!
