Mary's Greenhouse Grows

First of the green bean harvest (I planted very, very late, I suspect all others in my region are quite sick of green beans by now!).
Tomatoes have made a steady appearance all summer, and cucumbers have had mixed results.
Not the bumper crops of last year, but the flower and herb gardens took more attention this summer.
Next year, I shall seek balance. :)

Queen Anne's Lace is stunningly beautiful, but not a native flower. I humbly suggest there is little else as pleasing as a pasture of QAL.

We won't discuss here the single QAL growing on the edge of my herb garden and hogging all my attention.

Charlotte is trying to hatch her okra seeds. She became frustrated and later took out her ire on the plant label sticks.

Looking for a veggie and flower garden with All The Answers? Not here today, folks....today's big questions include, "Where do I put this plant I bought on a whim?"

While I was yammering on about my palm tree's life, Charlotte would like you to know that she was planting okra.
She is now sacked out on the deck and thinks I should seed carrots.

Meet Tuesday, the King Sago Palm!
AKA the Palm That Will Not Die (but neither does he wish to thrive).

Meet Tuesday!

AKA "How many ways can one plant not thrive and when does one give up on it, especially knowing the same plant is now sold at the local Wal-mart?!?" (But that title is too long.)
