The trumpet vine is sure to please the birds. Now what you need my friend, is chickens. Yep, ours made short work of the grass hoppers!

It's been in the low 90's here lately, but today will only be in the low <br />80's..thankfully. You flowers are so beautiful!! My tomato plants are kinda struggling this summer.

Some of them didn't produce as much as the others but I took them all out of the ground anyway so I could stop having to water them. I know...so pathetic! But that's what happens in 110 degree weather, isn't it?Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261399658340603250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-16853437898914786462011-07-10T23:37:20.699-05:002011-07-10T23:37:20.699-05:00I really enjoyed the photos!I really enjoyed the photos!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379966486917936027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-90734029214506403022011-07-10T11:50:01.980-05:002011-07-10T11:50:01.980-05:00I'm hoping a couple of the purple coneflowers ...I'm hoping a couple of the purple coneflowers hold out so T has something to take to the fair. Not sure it will happen though.

Just what ...That Denver Daisy rudbeckia is amazing! Just what we need in front of the tall grasses for pops of color. And the fact that you can save the seed heads makes it a perennial in my mind. Do you think the seeds would germinate in the ground if you just let them fall where they grow?? It seems to work for the weeds! ; )Deborah Raneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252126648118644451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-67274243929382095772011-07-09T19:23:05.322-05:002011-07-09T19:23:05.322-05:00You do have some pretty flowers.

They returned to the classic sunflower too.<br />The green envy zinnia is cool. And, looks cooler--perfect for a hot summer day!Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.com
