New Visitor

Hi all just heading out to pull up a monster cucumber vine that is taking over the right side of the back yard, when I saw this little frog sitting on the porch railing. It looks like a green tree frog with black spots. I also have lime green ones and off white ones. With all the rain we have had here every thing is still getting out of hand.

The garden is still producing a steady stream of bell peppers and jalepeno peppers. The cuban oregano, has had to be cut back several times. The sweet basil was pulled up today also. I spent some time this morning at home depot, getting new soil for the raised vegetable beds. And of course the weed pulling never ends. Say hello to "Tilk" the speed racer dachshund, the newest edition to the family. So far he has throughly investigated all of the back yard, and just loves the vacant raised vegetable bed.

Here's to the start of the new fall gardening season. YaaaHoooooo. See you in the gardens.

The beauty of the "red" passion vine is really poppin today. I was actually sittin outback enjoying the slightest of breezes when this caught my eye. With all the rain lately this vine which normally does well without a lot of water, has really taken off this year. I have to keep a close eye on it, so it does not invade my neighbors yard. A humming bird nest in it. Also saw my tiny tenant chasing off a butterfly. Still to fast for me to catch on film.

This bleeding heart is fighting for it's spot on the arbor too. It would be nice if they shared equally, but I guess that's not going to happen. Anyway the summer is almost over and I am looking forward to the slightly cooler days of fall. Fall garden seeds have been purchased and are being prepped for the trays.

Roses are still producing new buds. This has been an awesome summer for them. Well gettin past my bedtime. So, I will bid all a good night. Happy Gardening.
