It Can't Be cold--It's Only August.

Who knew?

We've had a nice long hot summer, along with spurts of intense humidity.

But today, not so much and spitting rain once in a while.

I made a quick tour of the garden to make sure everything is as it should be. Scored fifty percent on that one.

A passing bird apparently dropped a Sunflower seed in amongst the geraniums. Pretty little thing will have a tough time trying to grow big and tall in that small container.


The eggplant is growing big and should be picked. That begs the question--what to do with it? they look so pretty but have all the flavor of a worn carpet. I guess I'll pretend it's pasta and make Eggplant Lasagna. It tastes good that way but it's a lot of work.


The Hibiscus is tucked away on the deck and it throws off beautiful flowers every once in a while, but it comes into its own in the winter when it blooms and blooms. Gotta love it.


The big problem in the garden is the fish pond. It's made of that pre-formed heavy plastic and it's leaking. I didn't know that was possible, but I've checked everything else and that's all that's left.

Now what to do?
