It’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s garden.

Heart
Morning glory vines grow like weeds all over the garden, so it’s not terribly difficult to find a heart-shaped leaf. The trick is to find one that’s isolated (this one was not so much) and well lit.
Dahlia
I had two dahlias last summer, and one disappeared completely. I think something ate it. I don’t even remember what color it was, but I don’t think it was as pretty as this one. This one sometimes looks more yellow, sometimes more pink – depends on the stage of the blossom. Right now there are not many flowers blooming in my garden, so this one is getting a lot of attention.
Little Cukes
We have cucumbers! I don’t know if there will be enough for pickling, but I’m happy to get what I get. This is a tiny one – there are a couple of other plants in the garden that are a little farther along. I’ve observed big, black carpenter bees pollinating the flowers on these plants. Thanks, bees!
Harvest
The yellow pear tomato plant apparently liked our hot weather.
Cluster
Our local power company is responsible for trimming trees that grow too close to their lines, and after running the cuttings through a wood chipper they offer them to the public to use as mulch. Last year I got a truck load of their mulch, and since then I’ve seen some different varieties of mushrooms in the garden. I’m guessing it’s related.
Bringing in the Harvest
I think I need a bigger truck.
It’s Fungi Friday!
