The garden is very productive this year
Over 3 dozen picked in one day
The white one is a silver slicer cucumbers

Purple Rose of Sharon, also known as Althea
I have never seen a purple one and was delighted to plant 
It in my garden. My mom helped me pick it out,
A special find

The summer seems to be going fast.
I feel like time is in a speed warp.

Happy August everyone.
