Am anxiously awaiting next Wed evening and Thrus a.m. when I can enter my flowers in the fair. I had NO veg this year except for some sort of a cherry tomato that was a weed in some container which I did not have the heart to pull. It has blooms.
All of the Non-stop tuberous begonias that were so pretty last year look dreadful. I need to go tell the poor lady (new) that she should not plant them in jiffy peat pellets. The roots never penetrate that mesh. I have stripped them but still not good.
Way too much rain here. Another 1.4 inches last night. 3 a.m. a bolt of lighting very close. Now we have the heat advisory.
Does anyone have a good source for making county fair entries displays. The categories are numerous. I was going to use Halloween for the Holiday entry. I have a lovely Bat-faced Cuphea and tons of fall colored marigolds. There is a red, white and blue category and I am really short on blue. I will need three stalks of the same color glad, and I just don't have that this year. That won best cut flower last year, but the rain got them this time.
The lilies peaked last week and this and will be shot by Wed. Oh well, everyone here is in the same boat. Only the clay ground is really flooded with water standing. The corn is tasseling and I saw my second Monarch butterfly.
Have another ear of corn for me. I'd like plenty of butter and salt on mine.
P.S. Just now more thunder.
LOL. I’ll do that maybe next week. I’m low carbing to lose weight and get my blood pressure down. Every 10 lbs. down, I get to celebrate. This time I had some corn with lunch and some potato salad with supper 1/2 serving corn and 1/4 serving of potato salad.
Back on the plan today, but everytime I loose 10 lbs. I’ll have some more corn From the freezer of course. Butter and salt would be icing on the cake so to speak. LOL
