August Garden Developments


Bumblebees are everywhere in the garden, they particularly seem to like the Statice.
The beans were planted fairly late again and they just have flowers now. Here's hoping for an extended warm fall so that we actually get to eat garden beans this year.

The Wisteria sent a leafless runner along the ground last year. This spring he grew leaves and we trained him up the side of the carport. We hope for pretty purple flowers next year and are taking bets on how far he's able to travel this summer. 

Vigorous growth requires frequent training and direction, but we like his attitude!
