Anyone is welcome to comment with what they're growing right now, things they would like to try, problems they're encountering, and questions they have. Share resources, answer questions, shout encouragement.

As for myself...

A trumpet shaped flower against green leaves. The petals are mostly white with thin dashes of yellow, but one has a large splotch of yellow covering most of it.

An update on the four o’clocks: they might be late, but they have come roaring in with their usual vigor. They seem to have done so overnight--I didn’t see them doing anything until suddenly they were in full bloom. I had planted marbled ones a few years back. The various crossing that they’ve done seems to have resulted in patchy color like this. I find it quite charming. For some reason, the yellow and white do this together and the pink seems to keep to itself.

A small, still-green pumpkin on the vine, resting on an upturned tin can.

Look! It’s a pumpkin! It is, in fact, THE pumpkin. The only pumpkin I have to my name. *sobs*

A stand of corn stalks with a slender ear in the foreground.

Oh, corn. Likewise small and few between. It’s just not been a good year for anything but melons. Man cannot live on melons alone. Well, and plums. But what is life without corn?

A spray of dry stems topped with tubular seed heads, all dark brown, against a blurred field of tan grasses.

I got a dense little patch of clarkia that came up in the wildflower field. They then went to seed. I thought the result was rather picturesque.
