So I know Mums are way boring, but this time of year, my containers are tired. They have bloomed and bloomed all summer and are ready for a break. So I am ripping out Jester's Millet (I don't think I have that name 100% right), Castor Bean, tired Zinnias, etc., and am replacing them with bright yellow and deep lavender mums, and ornamental kale. The heat has let up a bit, but still in the 90s here. Regardless, the calendar is flipping to September and I know that shorter and cooler days are coming.
In other news, I am preserving jalapenos, making tomato jam (which I'm very worried won't thicken), and homemade yogurt. I grew Indigo Blue Berry, Umberto, Brandywine, and BrandyMaster VF for tomatoes, and swell as Jalastar and Purple Jalapenos. They are all still going strong and producing enough that I need to do something with the harvest.
I almost never take pictures, but I am going to try VERY hard to remember so I can get some acorns:)
Have a great week everyone.
Mariah
