The sunflower is spent. I need to check and see if the birds have eaten all of the seeds. It is the last one to come down. Last year I left the seed heads on the ground and got rid of the plant first.
These are the last of my tomatoes. I called my oldest brother this morning who lives in Arizona. His growing season is just now starting. They are suppose to cool off right now and he is planting his tomato plants. Unfortunately he is sitting at a low of 80 degrees F. right now and it isn't such a good time to plant. He is old enough now that he has his son come and plant the garden and then he can take care of the rest of it. He is in his middle eighties and doesn't bend at the knees much anymore. He said the hurricane that is coming in will give them four days of rain there in the Mesa area. It might be great for his garden.
I tired to get rid of the purple salvia and I can see that it didn't happen. I guess I will leave it there and see if it blooms better now that I took it back. It was so invasive and the roots on it are large and deep. I will give it one more season of growth and try again if I don't like it.
It was too cold for them to really open up and bloom this morning. We were at 44 degrees F. and they acted like they had been frosted. That will come some of these days but for now we are safe from it. There was a dew that covered the tomatoes and morning glories at mid morning. We are now about 63 F. and it will get up to 73 F. as a high.
Our upstairs bedroom and bath are now all dried out from the broken supply line. The downstairs is better but it may be a couple of more days for that to dry. It looks like a mess down there but it is much better. I thought I was going to have to use the wet/dry vac again this morning but it seems like I won't have to. I have a furnace concern right now but will wait to see if things work out. Otherwise, I will have to call the people to work on it. I am trying to keep calm and not yell loudly. Thanks for stopping by today.
