These pictures don't do justice to how tall these sunflowers are.

Close to 5 m in height, maybe I'll measure them when I cut them down at the end of the season.

Most of my other sunflowers have bloomed already, but the ones in this little patch just keep growing taller.

Watermelon growing in a ditch outside my apartment building.

I walk by everyday on my way to work, but today was the first time I noticed it.

October 2024: It's That Time Of Year

We got our Harris Walz sign over the weekend:

Then October the First happened:

Our volunteer pumpkins. They turned out to be mini-pumpkins & the one on the right should have been picked sooner (It is a bit mushy) but still cool:

The fungal infection that damaged our front lawn created this happy accident. For the first time ever, this skeleton has a hairy chest, happy trail & lush pubes:

Just three girls looking for a little trouble... possibly toiling:

For a few reasons, I wasn't going to grow tomatoes this year.

Then I added some compost to a few beds to help refresh them.

Apparently there were many tomato seeds in that compost.

Now I am growing around 200 tomato plants, but not all will survive.

Let the tomato Hunger Games begin!!!

I love you disaster pollinator bed.... this bed has three species of milkweed, fennel, dill, wild yarrow, and mountain mint which have all intermingled and spread nicely. Plus a lonely liatris cultivar which I may move because it is far too civilized and doesn't compete well. The swamp milkweed suffered this year because of the dry spring but the showy and common milkweed and yarrow and mountain mint are huge and thriving. All about to bloom.

Milkweeds are host plants for monarchs, dill and fennel for swallowtails, and yarrow provides a long-blooming nectar source.
