More flowers and not much else

 Still a gorgeous weekend, started cloudy, cleared off, still clear even at sunset so that's unusual. Good weather for gardening still, though I suspect in a few weeks it's going to be AC weather. Still haven't figured out how to get my photos to sync without actually opening google photos on my phone.











Clear skies and stunning epi flower from the rose garden area. I noticed the bud a few days back and then it finally bloomed. I think there's another bud on there but not sure, might just be more branches.


 










I am going out in the evening now to cover up the three Tomatillo seedlings and was able to get a picture of the three roses and the Easter lily finally blooming. So maybe it's not just me  if that's blooming this late.










 
This is just ridiculous. The tallest Tomatillo has a bud! It could very well be just another terminal leaf bud but so help me if it's trying to flower I don't know what I'm going to do. The cauliflower are still doing well and that silly potato.......

 

That oregano is just taking off, which is a good thing and kind of worried it might take over but can never have too much oregano. Just a long shot of the beds after I watered sparingly and only the plants that were in there. Still no seeds coming up in the pots, another week and I'll see about getting some peat pellets and fertilizer, maybe some plants. Seriously looks like it's going to be peppers and tomatillos if I can't get tomatoes before the end of next month. It's hard to find just single small four inch plants at the big box stores and the closest small nursery moved a half hour away.

I decided to nip off one of the taller stems of oregano and bring it inside to dry it. Just hung it up on the paper towel holder under the cabinet. I'm thinking of moving it someplace higher just in case a certain little furball doesn't think it's edible while we're asleep. But at least I have fresh Oregano for cooking now! I was almost out of the dried in the jar.  The mix I have was originally oregano, rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, savory and sage. I got a refill from a friend that I think was from Penzey's which was the same thing minus the savory. Basil is touchy to try and grow from what I've heard from various people that have grown it.

So that's it for today, not much since it's Sunday and no walking until Tuesday. Will see how my luck and money runs next week for plants and supplies.

Garden is still there, slowly but sure.

 It is settling into being Fall now. Nights are definitely colder, going to dip into the high 40's in the wee hours of the morning tomor...
