Summer Has Arrived . . .

Unfortunately.  It's very hot now, by noon in the 80s, it's 82 now and feels REALLY hotter than that.  I'm watering every other day, I have two peppers I need to harvest but I'll give them another day or two.  Haven't lost anything, my roses are still blooming brown, that must be either overwatering or not enough sun, I moved it to a hook that will get more sun, so hopefully it will be better.  Though it's pretty as is, it's really growing.  Going to go take some piccies.  Back later.  I'll publish em.

All's Well!

Everything is doing well, there are many seedlings in the blackcurrant swirl datura.  Lots of peppers on the banana pepper plants, the jalapenos are just now getting little peppers.  I should have bought more than one tree of jalapeno, I'm not going to get many peppers.  BUT I'll take seeds from the ones I do get and make more!  My miniature rose is blooming profusely but I don't know if it's going to live or not.  Some days it looks full and some days it looks like it's thinning, and the blooms are beginning to brown before they open, don't know what's up with that, maybe not enough sun but I know I don't want to put it in full sun it'll burn up, the last two did.  I'll figure it out.  My hawarthia has about a half dozen bloom stems I've never seen anything like it, it's awesome.  I need to repot it to a larger pot so it can spread.  My bottlebrush is blooming but something appears to be eating the blooms, they don't bloom as round and pretty as they used to.  There are so many sunflowers coming up they are so pretty but there too, something keeps eating the blooms!  Squirrels I think, could be them eating the bottlebrush blooms, don't know why.  Persimmon is doing well too, though no persimmons this year.  It'll be a while before fruit bears on that tree.  I'm giving up on Mom's pear tree too, though it survived the frost and drought, it's not bearing for the second year.  I think it needs to be pollinated.  The green pepper seed I planted didn't sprout so I guess they were too old.  I'll buy fresh next spring, I'm going to plant many veggies in my container garden.  Melon seed too if I can get my hands on some and plant them by the north fence.  Mmmmm our own watermelons.  Excellent.
