Last of summer Beauty Pageant

The Fuchsias are having another go at struttng their stuff and this one is front and center.


This new Hibiscus is supposed to be zone 5 hardy but the jury is out until spring. It's a beauty.


The pumpkins are so ready for action but they'll have to bide their time until their Halloween debut. The cantaloupe looks more like a pimple here.


The roses are also having a another run at blooming. They are so obliging--I never spray or feed them; they get a shot of early -spring manure and that's it but they don't seem to bear a grudge.

Perhaps the plastic cow in the background drives away all garden pests.
