Amaranthus in Bloom

Amaranthus mixed in among the potatoes and zinnias. This variety is most often called "love lies bleeding."

Beans: Good and Plenty

My sweet daughter helped me pick this batch. I'll trim them, blanch and then freeze.

Orange-y Red Zinnia

I wish I had planted more of these superstars. Well, next year.

White Tomato

 I was wondering why this huge tomato wasn't turning red...the tag says it is a Great Northern White tomato. Well, actually light yellow. Very sweet with melon overtones. Hardly any seeds.

Hibiscus

About the size of a salad plate. This is the last showy bloomer each season. Each blossom lasts just one day.

Junkyard Dog...and Cat

My Art in the Park treasure this year...a dog chasing a cat.

Oh. Autumn IS on the Way

The trees know. The first day of autumn comes next week.

Green Beans

About a month late...but here they are. Some for fresh eating, the rest will be blanched and frozen.

This Could Happen To You...in Just Two Days

Too big to eat.

Grapes!

OK, so we won't be making any wine yet...but we do have a few handfuls of grapes ready for snacking. I put in vines two years ago. Next year could be big.

A Little More

Finally getting a tomato harvest groove going. I see...salsa...in our future.

Bumble Bee Rescue

This guy somehow wound up in the garage. It was cold and he was moving slowly. We gave him a ride outside, where he warmed up on a flower.

We Grew Potatoes...in IDAHO!

The first round of harvesting. I have two other mystery potato plants that aren't ready yet. I *think* these are Yukon golds. Potatoes are ready to harvest about a week after the vines die down.

Teenager

Juvenile robin learning to get his own dinner.

Multi-Colored Morning Glories

It's interesting to see the variations in blues and purples on these vines.
