It seems like something always has to suffer. I get back on track submissions-wise and I forget to blog. Oh well. Have some more garden pron.

I love sunflowers because they seem to have so much personality.

Houston we have beans! And based on the number of flowers like this one I’ve found more survived that I thought. The problem is that the young leaves look a lot like morning glories, which are also growing in my yard. But as the leaves mature they get significantly darker, larger, and more elongated and pointy than the morning glory plants. So now I fear I might have killed some off myself believing them to be weeds.  But there are still many left so I have hope of bean soup in the fall.

My broccoli is about to fruit, you can see the head forming.

Even my venus fly trap is flowering (aren’t they neat little plants. And they aren’t exotic! They’re actually native US plants.)

And here’s my latest fruit from the squash bread. It’s been a lot of fun no knowing what kind of squash I’d get. I definitely recommend squash for beginners because they are very easy to grow and grow fast. The only real problem I’ve had is making sure to pick the fruits before they got too big, and making sure they didn’t stay too wet. I’ve only lost one fruit so far to rot (and evidently something nibbled on it, which let moisture get in and rot start.
