Running Out Of Summer

 This past week seems to have flown by. Cool nights and pleasant days have had me outside working my butt off (if only that could be). Changing clothes three times a day to try to stay dry. I have a dermotology consult in my future. They seem to think injecting botox in my sweat glands to stop the intense sweating. I don't know that I am too happy about that, but I will go.

Got all the lattice up by the She Shed. Yes, it does look a little wavy. The ground is full of rocks and hard as cement, so driving those fence stakes into the ground is no job for one so weak as I! There will be plants climbing and holding it together. Bachelor Buttons have been planted on the far end, and a nice clematis on the very end.

Not too sure what this vine is, I rescued it at Walmart. It was one of those baskets with various plants in it. This was in the middle surrounded by some tiny white flowered plants. Any idea what it is? I suppose I could look it up ...

Elephant Ears on steroids? They just keep getting bigger.

Caladium in my woods. I really need to weed it and mulch it in, but those yellow hornets are lurking in there! I saw them and steered clear. I am hoping they will go dormant soon. My soaker hose is really ugly and I want to cover it up.

Finally put the house numbers on the frog and a view from the top of the drive. More soaker hose on display. Soon it will be hidden under the mulch.

This awaits my attention tomorrow, along with the 5 bags still in the truck.

When I tired of working in the She Shed and its surroundings, I decided to work on my entrance to my front door. I bought  a Crepe Myrtle and couldn't decide where to plant it. It needs sun, so I decided to plant it here. It will get ample sun and be easy for me to supervise the orange trick to propogate another tree. 

I was thinking of planting it near the She Shed, but after spending an entire day in the She Shed sorting with the sun hitting the front and making it super hot inside, I decided to move the Sycamore tree to that location. It will provide better shade.

I counted 8 gourds on  my vine this morning, then picked green beans, tomatoes and cucumbers. I have two amll watermelons on my vine and just planted more early peas for  fall. I ate a strawberry and saw three more growing. The lone strawberry I ate already had a tiny bite out of it. I cut that part off.

So, that is what I have been doing with my time. Like a mad rush to get all this done before I run out of summer.
