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.
