I'll soon be deleting all META accounts. I cannot support anyone who supports that bloated narcissist who was elected president. I've enjoyed my time here, and the beautiful posts we shared. But my heart is broken by the actions of my fellow Americans. How could they be so misled as to allow our country to become the biggest oligarchy on the planet? Considering what we evolved from, a nation that tolerated the subjugation of others, I guess we have no reason to be surprised that our basest instincts have scuttled our higher principles and led us into moral decay as a nation. But there will be resistance. I'm not confident it won't get worse, first. Anyway...fare thee well, my Insta and FB friends. by @twogrnthmbs

A daylily decided to bloom today. Little Surfer Girl. And I haven't posted for awhile, so I threw in some photos from the last couple of weeks. The blooms are keeping the pollinators happy. No appreciable rain for a month. Gardens like ours help during dry weather. by @twogrnthmbs

Hello all. Relaxing, watching post-season baseball this evening. Took a few photos of the garden. New vegetables, and old. Late season blooms are still in abundance. Many bees and butterflies at work.
Photos 1 and 2 of two different plantings of radishes. The first, less than a week old and the second about 3 weeks old.
Photo 3 is of my Jet Star tomato approaching 8 feet!
Photo 4 shows a row of edible podded peas, and my cabbages under wire cloches.
Photo 5 is an Aster called October Skies.
Photo 6 is of a reblooming clematis.
Photo 7 is the morning glory screen we grow on the 8 foot tall school playground fence.
Photo 8 is a Cosmos growing under the young red oak in our front yard.
Photos 9 and 10 show the rebloom on a garden Phlox I deadheaded 3 weeks ago.
Photos 11 and 12 are of Celosia blooms, with a thread-waist wasp on photo 12.
Photo 13 is a Begonia blossom.
Photo 14 is a New Guinea impatien on the front porch.

The endless summer? Highs today in the mid-90s. by @twogrnthmbs

It's that time of year, in my part of the world. when gardeners can begin to breathe a little easier. Temperatures are cooler, days seem more compact and plant needs are less immediate. We got a much appreciated inch and a half of rain, a couple of days ago. The peppers and tomatoes are still producing. Most of the fall veggies I want to grow are planted - cabbage, edible podded peas, spinach, lettuce, radishes. Garlic will go in the ground soon. If it stays warm enough, long enough, the cucumber plants I'm growing from seed planted 3 weeks ago may yet produce.
I'm looking forward to fall, and beyond to winter. But it's also time to look back, and reflect on what was good this growing season, as well as what wasn't so good. Helps me know how to adjust next year.
The daylilies are going to get regimented applications of fungicides. Despite our cold temperatures, I believe I am observing rust on some plants. I'm not making any new beds next year, so I should have the time, and energy, to fulfill that commitment. It will be a good way to gauge their health in comparison to this year, when they got no treatments, and to last year when they got at least 3. I'm excited to see how it turns out.
There are several daylily plants that went in the ground this year and in the last two years prior, that have really put on some growth, and I have high hopes for seeing bouquets of blossoms on them, as opposed to a handful of flowers. Maybe my application of alfalfa pellets was the stimulus. Stay tuned.
The photos are as follows:
A Celosia from seed that has grown 3 feet tall!
A close look at the geometry of Lantana flower buds.
A clematis called Rhapsody making a late appearance.
A new (to me) Chrysanthemum called Mary Stoker.
Honeybee on an Aster named October Skies.
A Clematis blooming nicely.
Daylily Little Surfer Girl.
A swallowtail working the Phlox over.
Grandson Cassius and what we constructed with the Lincoln Logs.

More Celosia we let seed up.
A view of my young veggies..

Some blooms at the end of their season, and some just beginning. And a couple of residents, too. The temperatures are remaining stubbornly high, around 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and dry. Look closely. The grasshopper is carrying a canteen. 😉😄
Daylilies Heavenly Heart's Desire and Little Surfer Girl.
A couple photos of Wood's Dwarf Aster.
Summer's prince on his throne, an unnamed Dahlia.
Two photos of a hybrid Celosia, with lime green foliage and golden orange flowers of both plume and crested forms.
An unidentified moth.
And lastly, the Chrysanthemum Clara Curtis.
Have a great week, friends! by @twogrnthmbs
