Summer's Rose


Summer's Rose

The garden has been wildly busy this past week with new flushes of roses, like this, as well as a real burst of Dahlias, both yellow and pink. At least one of the new ones looks like it might bloom soon and hopefully won't be pink or yellow. Need a change in color.
The tomatoes are setting fruit, except for the Brandywine...nothing that I can spot at all. I can't see any peppers, eggplant, zucchini or cukes ;yet, but hopefully within days I will have something from all four. The sweet 100's are turning red, slowly though. Our weather has taken another turn to the cool side. Not unwelcome, I can tell you that! I have been able to spend more time in the yard instead of writing about it!
The Chrysanthemums are all starting to bloom as well, the small summer type in a wide variety of colors. Even the wisteria is having a second bloom, quite extensive too.
The pear tree has stopped self-thinning, and looks like I will have another bumper crop. My neighbor's apricot tree has a lot of almost ripe fruit on it. I hope to have more to report about soon.
