Zone 9b-10a checking in. This is the peak of our growing season. Teeming with tomatoes, broccoli, brussels sprouts and green beans. Took some photos today:


Strawberries, geraniums, green beans


Hibiscus, snapdragons and red knockout roses


Flowering broccoli, artichokes, soon-to-be-planted bananas, and raspberries

Howdy NN! Thank you so much for posting the gorgeous photos. You know, I don't think I've ever seen an artichoke before. I see strawberries!!!

We are in a weird repeating cycle of weather here in NE Louisiana ... it gets into the 70's, a cold front comes through and it goes into the 20's at night, and 3 days later it is back into the 70's. I fear that we aren't gonna get much of a winter and that the bugs will be horrendous.
