Posted on August 4, 2022August 4, 2022 by larksparrow08/04/2022 Fall obedient plant is thinking about blooming! I think over the winter I’ll move it to closer to the bird bath to get more water. One of the two leaf sennas has buds!! The fluttermill primrose in the rock garden just keeps blooming!! This “live forever” from Judy is budding. I thought this was a plant hopper. It’s insect poop. Technically this is called frass. 😏 This fuzzy plant came with some wild onions I got at Mom and Dad’s. I am hoping it might be snow on the prairie! Paula said the mysterious pumpkin was ready. While we were outside, we checked out the cushaw squash. Already longer than Paula’s arm to the elbow!! Shackleton was neutral about the pumpkin. Tuqu was interested in the pumpkin and smelled it carefully. Shackleton was repelled by the fragrant Madhu ras cantaloupe. Tuqu tried to touch it. Today’s two harvests plus the watermelon from the farm share.
I think the live forevers are sedums. Thats just one of many common names i think. Sure are pretty melons. Loading... Reply

Love all the bugs you are finding! Was the cicada dead? I noticed its ocelli in the photo are white. My dead one I found were orange. Loading... Reply
It was alive, but I used the flash, so I imagine that is why. I wondered about the color relative to yours too but didn’t think to check until the picture. Loading... Reply
Ok, thanks! We should keep our eyes (ocelli- ha ha) peeled if we see another live one, eh. Loading... Reply

How long are going to let the squash go?
Until it’s done. It’s supposed to be ready to harvest when rind is hard.
