Rainy Roses

We had almost 2 inches of rain today.  It was hot and muggy yesterday and stormy today.  I want some nice cool fall weather!

Camera Critter Saturday-Monarchs

The Monarch Butterflies were passing through this week by the hundreds.  I had planted a butterfly bush this past spring, they are not hardy to my zone 4 garden but it sure attracted the butterflies!  I doubt it will winter over for me but I have decided I will plant more next spring and treat them as annuals if I must, as it is worth to see all the butterflies!

Camera Critter Saturday Murder in the Garden

I'm not sure what kind of bug is eating the Black Swallowtail Caterpillar is or if it killed the Caterpillar or is just taking advantage of the free lunch.

Gourd Blossoms

I saw some gourd seeds this past spring, decided I would plant some, they have taken over the garden crawled over the garden fence and are moving on to the neighbors fence :).    The bees love the blossoms, I am not sure what I will do with all the gourds but I have enjoyed the plants.

Rainbow Swiss Chard

I had always wanted to try growing this, finally did this year, it is pretty, don't you think?  I did not eat any as I don't like swiss chard but have enjoyed seeing it in the garden and will grow it again.
