Week #10 Porch Shot

The changes are probably pretty subtle to most people these days but they're there...bee balm is beginning to open, lawn chairs have moved to accommodate the new blue Hosta that Sarah included with the gift of Solomon's Seal - and at no extra charge I might add...
There is the promise of tomatoes and peppers to come. I think from the looks of the small pepper it's a halapeno. The peas and broccoli and mixed salad greens have pretty well passed on. Yesterday I pulled out all the gigantic salad plants to prepare for a second salad planting. I'm intrigued with finding some Romanesque broccoli ( it has the most interesting growth pattern) to start since the Broc did so well much to my surprise. Broccoli will be much happier with cooler weather at the end of August into September right up until the first hard frost.

What I call Indian Paintbrush but....

I don't think that's correct....Maybe Sarah will straighten me out on that since Hannah has borrowed my wildflower book.
Yesterday I mowed the lawn but didn't want to mow them down. I associate them with strawberries since they always come around the same time, although I haven't found any berries. Still, there'll be blackberries later on...right around when the Queen Ann's lace comes out.
