I’ve killed 2 passionflower vines. I’m going to try again though. Great photo!

Not exactly fireworks on the 4th, but these sunflowers are about 10-12 feet in the sky, they don’t scare the dog anyway like the explosions do.

Otherwise, the various vegetables are either barely hanging on, thriving, or someplace in between in a typical July hot and humid weather pattern.

Getting a handful of purple hull peas every other day. I freeze them without blanching, just shell them and throw them in with the previous batch. Taste fresh when cooked.

My husband from Arkansas eats purple hull peas with hot chow chow. I make and can the chow chow using his Aunt Golda's recipe, which he insists I do. It is a pain in the neck to make.

This big girl seems to be carting around pollen from just about every plant in the garden. It's no wonder I rarely get the same winter squash from saved seeds.

I brought home dozens of these from the testing lab a couple of years ago before I retired, but this is the first one that I spotted in the garden. They never call, don't write... :lol:
