Miss Bumblebee and my echinacea |
A sampling of selected scenes as I made my way about the garden this morning.
We'll be hosting some visitors (and no doubt giving a tour) today so taking some time to ensure everything is looking good was well worth it. Mobile users and those who pay for data be forewarned: lots of photos after the jump you may want to check back later on wifi.

Some sunflowers (benefiting from the peeper's fertility) and some volunteer tomatoes (if you squint) |

Not far away some Jerusalem Artichokes, and a good example of what happens when you don't mow all season. |

You can't hide from me, Mr. Acorn squash. |

Still thriving, even in good sun. A testament to how mild the temperature has been. |

Nasturtiums. I've heard they're edible, so Mrs. Farmer gets to plant them in the garden. |

Purple flowers, a favorite of Mrs. Farmers. I don't believe these ones are edible... she snuck them in. |

Basil and tomato. If I could just get a plant which grows Mozzarella fruits.... |

I believe this is our first tomato showing a bit of color. Always a welcome sight. |

Not the first and hardly the only, a nice looking summer squash coming along. |

Sunflowers, tomatoes, a bit of squash. Modified 3 sisters with volunteers. |

Pink ones too. |

More nasturtiums and the foot of the real 3 sister's garden. You can see the squash there and the very bottom of the popcorn. Pole beans climb the corn, just not very visible here. |

A better picture of the row. |

Hiding nearby, one of many types of faux dandelion. |

Little purple flowers, and more basil. Crimson closer visible but only just peeking. |

Sunflower, albeit a teensy one. |
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mAJemknsVZM/U-T_oqAlnaI/AAAAAAAABZk/U-j03OBg_w0/s1600/20140808_122924.jpg) |
This one lives in front of the house. The kids call it a "star flower". |

Last year these red and white mulberries were only about a foot tall. There will be cuttings from these. Lots of them. |

Everbearing strawberries still plodding along in their hugel mound. |

Morning glories climbing the birdfeeder pole. |

Black eyed susans. |
It's a colorful time of year right now. I've got to soak up as much as I can before winter.
Thanks for stopping by.
