  1. I thought Rectify was a fabulous show. My veggies are not doing well so I am getting ready to plant new. It is trial and error for me this year.

  2. We are still getting a few lonely and tiny tomatoes, but they are just about done for this year. I’m amazed at how fast zinnias pop up, too. I love them.

    1. The rain shut my veggies down. But now with all this sun they’re coming back. Probably not for long.

  3. Where I live it’s often over 110 degrees for much of the summer. I can grow zinnias consistently. Just throw seeds out and off they go. They even come up on their own. Perfect for hot summers! I absolutely love them. And you can just cut and cut them for bouquets and they will just keep producing. I think you will find a lot of enjoyment from them.

  4. Brenda, Is the Sweet Potato Vine just a sweet potato stuck in the ground? I love the purple leaves. I bought a packet of cauliflower seeds and planted them and what came up instead looks like daisies or zinnia. Go figure. I bought them for my neighbor and then she said she hated cauliflower, so I planted them for myself. It’s a good thing I love flowers. LOL Sandra

      1. A sweet potato vine is a sweet potato variety that has been bred for appearance, to produce lots of pretty leaves rather than for producing big edible roots. Sweet potatoes that make the big edible roots do make a small mound of nice leaves, but they don’t come in all of the pretty colors and sizes and lengths that can be found in ornamental sweet potato vines

  5. Brenda, I just love your photo o_ that golden zinnea. They are one o_ my very _avorite blooms, yet I rarely plant them. Crazy. Wonder whether I could throw in some seeds somewhere yet and see some blooms late summer or autumn. Might be worth a try. I know I have some seeds.

    I’m sorry it’s been a rather disappointing gardening season _or you this year. The weather certainly hasn’t been the most cooperative.

    1. I just planted a new batch of zinnia seed to hopefully bloom through a few more months.

  6. Your flowers are lovely,especially the Morning Glories.

  7. I loved Rectify. I thought I must have been the only one. There’s a song they play when he’s on a bed and it haunts me and I sometimes I just need to hear it. The song is Charlie Darwin by Low (?) I would look it up for you but never know how to get out and back in to FB. You can find it on You Tube with what little information I gave you. ..or just wait for it. You’ll know.

  8. I love zinnias. There are so many colors and sizes to choose from and they do so well from seed. I don’t like to pay nursery prices for annuals but a packet of seed contains so much joy that I’ll buy zinnia seeds every time. Hope the torrential rains are gone now . The temperature in SC finally went into the eighties and what a relief that is. Glad you’re garden has been revived by the sun.

  9. Your patio garden is so pretty. That sounds like a good book. I’ll have to check it out.

  10. Have you watched The Five by the same guy that did Safe…I highly recommend it.

  11. I think you can cut off those roots that are escaping the pot. Google rose care to be sure, but it shouldn’t hurt the plant.

  12. I can’t believe your plants are all past their prime, especially the cosmos – some of mine are just getting their first blooms, and the rest of the cosmos are absolutely gorgeous right now! I’ll have tomatoes before long – and Sweetie brought over a nice head of lettuce and the first of the cucumbers and zucchinis last night. Here we go, crazy harvest season coming up!!
