Chris wrote about fall arriving in Kansas City - by far my favorite time of year! Here are the sites around the Jones house.
My pepper plants are going CRAZY - more than 3 feet tall and full of flowers and veggies. I"m loving it!
Our green beans have also come back since the heat broke. I'm living up to my childhood nickname - the Green Bean Queen.
I've pulled seeds from some of our flowers, as well as from one of our neighbors who invited me to make myself welcome. I read about storing them through the winter. Must keep them dry, dark and cool.
Our neighbor is a master gardener, and has been kind enough to let me ravish his deadhead flowers to steal seeds.
The coneflowers, sunflowers and black-eyed susans came from our yard.
I love digging into the center of the sunflowers for the seeds.
I've got them all packaged and labeled.
Chilling in the frigo until next spring.
Coneflowers: our flower of the year. We have white ones, purple ones, pink ones, yellow ones, tall ones short ones . . . . we love them!
Rosemary: our herb of the year. It was slow to start, but has grown like crazy!
Our sparse lawn, covered in grass seed and straw. Cross your fingers!
Oh, wow. You're amazing!
