Photos from 7/22

First (and still only) open sunflower. One of the other ones is taller than I am-- it's at least 5'5"


Celestial Mix Morning Glory. I don't think I'm going to be planting this one again.


The broccoli is doing something.


Watermelon flower.


Marigolds finally going. The flowers are tiny!


Morning Glory Seeds


Calendula Seeds-- not sure if these are ripe, actually.


Update on out-back garden.


Pumpkin buds.

New Morning Glories

My Grandpa Ott's Morning Glory has been blooming like crazy. The Celestial Mix put out some purple ones that look like Grandpa Ott (but not as hardy-- they are usually dead by 10 whereas the Grandpa is alive until noonish) but today, it put out some white ones with pale blue stars:







Grandpa has been putting out some seed pods, I'm excited to collect them:

Big Show

Today I got a big show from some of my one-day bloom plants. There are almost 20 Morning Glory flowers and 3 Tigridia.










This is one of AVR's favorite spots in the upper garden. It's one of my moonflower plants in an old ceramic skull of hers.

Photo Post

Here are some of my garden shots:

Views from some 3rd floor windows:




My sunflowers are budding.


View down the long rail, I hope the railing gets swallowed up in vines by the end of July.


Mound of dahlia.


My blooming lavender.


Unruly garlic tops.


A sunny photo of my bushy cypress.


My Black Velvet Nasturtiums look more scarlet than chocolate brown.


The marigolds are big but haven't budded yet.


One of my bigger moonflowers. One of the vines has started to inch its way up my homemade tomato trellis.


Baby Sugar Baby


Scarlet Magic Tassels. They're super neat looking.


The brocs are also pretty big but budless.


This is the beet that came out of the ground today. I'll post that photo tomorrow.



The tigridia in action. You can see my Grandpa Ott's MG in the background of the first one.

Here's a close on some of Grandpa:


I need a macro lens.
