The zinnias are a nice spot of color next to some tomato plants and the marigolds are planted primarily in with the potatoes to ward off bugs. I have other taller marigolds that are coming later and should be blooming in September –they are in with the roma tomato plants. I like both of these flowers a lot –they are old fashioned standards.
Look at that lovely bit of spider web…. that must have been a fun trail for that spider to spin.
I like zinnias –they are such little workhorses of lasting color in the garden. I have some in a little pot next to the corner of the house and two other little bunches of them growing next to some tomato plants. They have barely started up with their blooms. These are cut-and-come-again. I’ve cut a few of them for a little vase in the kitchen, but mostly I am just watching them in the garden.
Here is one of the backtracking posts –I am posting this to share this picture of the last morning of camping. I awoke very early and the sunrise was on the water and the campground was very quiet. I got out my camera and walked down toward the water and saw this crane in the water. The moon the night before had been astounding –and the moonrise over the lake was lovely too.
Lovely moonrise over the water.
And here are some pictures of more blooms in south dakota.
And below is one of my favorite blooms, Tiglet.
I have received some exciting updates from my garden at home and the rose is a really exciting surprise.
The kitties are getting along without me. And it sounds like the weather has been very good.
