Yellow Single Marigold. 9.19.15 |
Random photos.
The heirloom french marigolds had some atypical plants. A single yellow - the rest were doubles. And a taller, looser double red. That one had more marigold fragrance, looks like a reversion to earlier type. I am saving seeds from both. I like the difference.
Only 4 seeds from Ning's beans. Not much to start a self-saved strain but better than zero seeds.\
Squashes ripening and curing now. The first of many.
Illinois Everbearing Mulberry is a pale green. Not due to insufficient nitrogen. It's been that way every year, and in 2 locations. Other trees nearby are fully green.

Atypical Large Red French Marigold. 9.17.15 |
The first Chinese Haws here. Great to have a start.
This is the Year of the Squashes. Lots to eat during the winter.
