I learned today that spiderworts are self-incompatible, so these buds didn’t have any seeds in them. Oh well. It was worth a try! Thanks Mom for sending and prompting me to look this up! It explains why we only have the one. 🙃I repotted the aloe vera (not shown) and added some more dirt and another succulent to this pot, which lives inside in the entryway shelf.Milkweed beetle! It’s standing on a dayflower and moving over to a nightshade, though.Ashy Sunflower yet lives!!Linum rigidum from home still blooming. It’s annual so I hope it seeds!A different jumping spider.A lightning bug resting on a native poinsettia (Euphorbia) leaf.
Abby kindly gave me her extra prickly pear cactus pads (Opuntia humifusa) which I shall attempt to grow.This succulent from Judy in my rock garden has a surprise pink flower!
Three hours to harvest and sort all this.First canning tomato variety fruit. I can’t remember which one, I need to look at spreadsheet. The marker is buried in dirt. Update: is Amish Paste tomato.Grass seeds did not wash away in rain. Whew.Intruder alert!!Possibly the frass of the offending hornworm???Loofah gourd flower disintegrated in rain.A jewel of rain on succulent.
