06-30-2025 — Flower Power

Howdy all. I was outside yesterday for a couple hours to water flowers and garden beds. While we’ve had “storms” and power outages and winds (strangely, not at the same time), the total rain has been very little. Most of the rain passed to the south or north. My brother’s home has had plenty of rain, and he is less than 15 miles away.

Today, the sprinkles are continuing off and on. And in between, the sun comes out and immediately dries the water away. But I did get some pictures of the gardens and flowers yesterday. Here are a few.

Cucumber plants have handled the heat fine, and are leafing well. No fruit?? And I see I forgot my carrots out there.

These were my leftover pepper seedlings. I am just leaving a few of them to see if they can grow and produce in the greenhouse.

Beans are blossoming, but not fruiting? The potato bed behind them are really starting to droop and show ending cycle. To the right, is a bed with those cherry tomatoes. Some fruit. Quite small. Lots of plant though.

These are the flowers against the garage. Looking perty.

These self watering planters on the deck are full of flowers from prior years. I added no new seeds this year.

The blue planter is also prior year plants. The one on the right are leftovers from the flowers I put in front of the house.

More close ups.

I haven’t a clue what most of those flowers are. Just amazed that they keep showing up. The ones in these self watering planters are doing great, and seem to Enjoy Life
