How Does Your Garden Grow?



Morning Glory growing wild and climbed right over the Zinnia


Wild things growing in the greenhouse. Pokeweed on the left and Jewelweed in back.


Pokeweed.


Calendula or field marigolds


Another watermelon! 


Cosmos


A hornet loves the Goldenrod


I thought this was a crumpled, brown, paper bag. It's a giant fungi


The garden looking tired and run down


The Nasturtiums are still going strong


A couple of grasshoppers


Someone better get out and harvest all the cherry tomatoes


Cucumbers as big as watermelons!


Zucchini? Some sort of squash didn't do well. Maybe the grasshoppers are to blame.

      We've had a lot of heat and humidity this Summer. A bit unusual for this area, and I think it's taken a toll on the gardens.

    Nice. I've never known anyone to plant watermelons before. I'm finally getting tomatoes too-all of them at once-of course. :) And why do you have those wild plants growing in your greenhouse? I'm assuming there's a reason. Stay dry. It's wet in my neck of the woods this morning.

      The things growing in the greenhouse just found their way in. Himself didn’t bother pulling them

    Your garden may be looking tired, but it’s still full of life and surprises! From the wildflowers to those giant cucumbers, it's clear nature is thriving in its own way.
