the year is just flying by and i am not sure i am ready for the seasons to change. i am not a fan of the cold weather and i really like things to be green and colorful! you know that summer is in full swing when the herbs grow berserk and ours are just about there...
so much basil and so little time to eat it all
lemon verbena-it may just take over the herb garden!
(the catmint behind it is going to give it a run for its money...)
but no matter what, the perilla is the king of this jungle. that clump is at least 5 feet tall!
pretty little mexican petunia
butterfly weed and seed pods
we found this little sign laying in the greenhouse and decided to give it a home and a purpose. it will live in the junior master garden bed and we can put verbage on it or attach a poster or something. darry gave it a little red to make it stand out.
anne tied the hyacinth bean plant to it so it would have a place to climb
we were getting a little tired of seeing at the memorial sign leaning against the building in a bed of weeds. i got in there and yanked out all of the weeds and darry installed the sign so that it is now standing up and not leaning on the building. what an improvement! and by the way, if anyone decides to move it there are carpenter bees living in the posts and they didn't care for darrys use of the mallet to install the sign. 
we picked a pile of peppers...
the climbing spinach (called malabar spinach) is all over. it looks like an octopus plant
and last but not least-what would sunday be without a cake in the garden. today we had banana bread. come on out and join us sometime!
