How Does Your Garden Grow?




I found a free app, PlantNet, to help identify things that are growing in the garden so I know whether to leave or pull. This flower turns out to be a weed, Prickly Sow Thistle. Pull.


This fern like leaf is Ragweed. Achoo! Definitely pull.



Say Hello, to Prince. He came to keep me company late one night. He hung out on the outside of the kitchen window while I did some dishes.


This is Coconut. She got her name because her eyebrows look like coconut flakes. 


Coconut likes to eat the morning glory leaves. She's sulking in the picture above because I banged on the window to get her to move away from the morning glories.


Coconut has a baby. This little guy or gal has the same white eyebrow markings and also a white spot on his or her forehead. This baby is called Clover because of the white spot and s/he likes to nibble the flowers.


The lawn is filled with goodies for Baby Clover.


Talk on the Town Facebook page was curled leaves nestling monarch butterfly caterpillars. No curled leaves on my plants, but the bees were having a field day.


Himself has 3 peapods, one for the each of us!



Inside, a cherry tomato plant reaches for the ceiling. It must think it's a Big Boy variety

  1. Nice growth. And living the bunnies. I don’t see them around my house. Too many predators I think in the woods. It is great to see all the growing and green. Got to love July! Except the steaminess for me. Enjoy your Sunday. Hugs Erika

    1. I'm loving this weather. You don't have to shovel the heat and humidity, or wear layers of bulky clothes. And you can go barefoot without fear of frostbite! 😺

    1. But you have more neighbors on your walks like the ducks, swans, sheep, horses

  3. Your plants look great, and I like the rabbit, even though I wouldn't like it eating my flower plants (but I have the deer doing that). Ragweed! So that's what that is! That d*** thing is growing and spreading in my yard. I've been pulling it out, but there's a jungle of it growing where the Town is supposed to mow, but they don't.

    1. No sooner do you pull out the weeds, and they grow back

  4. Pull one weed and two grow back! It's the law of nature! ;) Your garden looks great! Enjoy that pea! LOL

  5. Just proves my theory that they are making an app for everything these days. Glad you know what to pull and what to save. Your tomato is looking tall (grin). Far better than mine.

    1. The tomato plant gets any bigger, and it will be like the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. Feed me!

    1. Over the years the bunnies were named after foods: Cacciatore, Hassenpfeffer, Cinnamon, Marzipan.. Lots of bunnies and I'm starting to run out of foodie names 😺

    1. I try to identify the bunnies by their markings. Hopefully, the indoor tomato plant will produce

  10. Nice bunny photos. We have so many that we wouldn't know which was which, and they are eating our hasta flowers ruthlessly.

    be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
