Look!!!!
I have a Cucumber!!!Okay! Your thinking so what!
But, I really thought that I would be really hard pressed to get this far, I mean much less, even actually getting one! wahhhooo!
So now this season I will be able to say that "I harvested cucumbers" along with the short list of veggies that I have as of to date.
**NO EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING**
Temps are as of now, 6:00 a.m. 84° with 30% chance of thunderstorms this evening, but in my area, we usually are not lucky enough to get substantial amount of rain.
Towards the end of the week (maybe), I will be pulling some carrots to make Carrot confiture it is "like a jam" that I got off one of my favorite shows. I'm not sure if it will taste good or even work, but as to the words of my "motto" through-out this blog...
Here is to trying... Right!?
The search for plants goes on!
Researching what plants I want to put in these pots, I conclude, Are you ready for it!?
Lantana "Pink"
Salvia "Red"
and of basil... of some different varieties, Yes? I think? yes!
These will be the plants that will be of possible sacrifice! "ha ha ha!" (well, hopefully not...)
On to the Newly planted green beans and pumpkins: I planted them yesterday morning, I had the beans soaking for 24 hours. They were plump and ready to be put to bed! So to speak...
I then put the pumpkin seed in a mounded heap of soil two seeds to a hole! Yes! maybe over-compensating, but I will pluck one from each hole, if they take(?)...

| The day of planting green beans and pumpkin! |
As I am working on my yard I am finding a lot of places that I can possibly tuck plants into...
My Snapdragons are almost spent... so I think that will be an area to put something fun? What would be fun? Any thoughts???
As Fall approaches, it is around the corner, Mums could be a really great thing to plant, aren't they a comeback plant? (too)
Hmmm! Bring in more "flower" like plants! What a concept! Hummers would like that wouldn't they?
