Looks like your tomatoes are still going strong, too.I have never grew grape tomatoes before and havent even hear.d of them, until now, with yours.They sure have the shape of grapes.Do they still taste like tomatoes? your zinnias are still pretty.Looks like you will have some peas, soon.The marigolds are pretty, too.I just hate it when everything is bloomed out and gone.its depressing.I still have zinnias, too blooming and portulaca blooming.
Don't you have Brocolli growing, too?

Jean

I love the red orange zinnias - so bright and cheerful - as are those buttery yellow marigolds. I have grown the Juliet tomatoes in the past and just love them on salads. I wish I had grown some this year.

Debra

Debra, the marigolds and zinnias are the reliable spots of color in the garden this year.

Jean, those Juliet tomatoes never stop producing. They taste just like regular tomatoes. The grape part refers to the shape of the fruit. Brocoli is not growing much, I don't think anything will come of it.

aWWW and i thought I would

at least see a picture of Brocolli growing.have neve seen it growing before,Do you still have your bush cucumbers?have never seen peas growing either.

jean

No, those bush cucumbers were pulled out at least two weeks ago. The rest of the cucumbers I wull probably pull put this week.

Peas make small white flowers and then the pods form.

Lots blooming, Rita, even if it isn't daylilies. Rain is a pretty nifty "fertilizer".
kay

So nice seeing color in the garden at this time of year no matter where it comes from. Love those zinnias.
Val

well them peas sure make some pretty little flowers.Dont seem fair that all the veggies stop producing at the same time..I was so injoying all your pictures of all the veggies growingbut, at least you still have tomatoes.

jean

Kay, we have had plenty of rain but unfortunatly it never made the daylilies rebloom this year.

Val, the zinnias usually put on a nice show but really, I think they were just extra nice this year.

Love the red zinnia.
Sedum is just starting to turn here. Not as large and robust as in previous years.
I just had sweet snap peas this weekend. Never ate them before but they were good.

Julia

It's sad how everything is winding down and it just seems like summer gets shorter every year. I never even went swimming once this summer (and there are lakes everywhere). It seems like time got away from me and I'm wondering where it all went. I can't believe it's Labor Day already!
Anyway, I've been thinking of you since I haven't seen you on the forum as much lately and also because my late-bloomers are all in their glory now. I have so many of them thanks to your enabling. I also think of you when I go to my Dad's garden. I love the grape tomatoes the most of all tomatoes because I can just pop them in my mouth as I pick them. Thank God for zinnias and marigolds which never give up until frost. Without them there wouldn't be much color at summer's end. I have lots of the hardy hibiscus blooming, phlox, rudbeckia and coneflowers too, but I gave up on the roses since the beetles haven't let up any. I've been doing a lot of fall garden projects & moving things around (and getting rid of a lot of roses which I thought I would never do, but I'm weary from fighting the beetles and am downsizing in a big way.)
Those peas look so green & healthy!

Celeste

Julia, snap peas are my favorites but I just love all types of peas.

Celeste, looking back on this summers daylily season, it seems such a dissapointement to me. Things bloomed much too early and then just didn't rebloom. Even my extra late bloomers bloomed too early for me. My summer seems to have flown by also but I can say that I enjoyed summer. Even if we had lots of hot weather.

I really got back into the veggie gardening this year, not that those veggie crazies ever totally went away as I had veggie gardens here long before I started adding all the flowers. And they were here all during my garden redos. But the past two years, really down to almost nothing as I had used up my former veggie beds for daylily gardens. Then this year able to get to putting in new veggie beds to have my veggies back.

I will never have as awesome a veggie garden as your dad does though. You can bet that I am very impressed with both him and his garden!

Luscious peas and tomatoes.

Your zinnias & marigolds are so pretty. My zinnias never amounted to much this year, I'm not sure why, guess the heat & drought in June. The summer has just flown by, it is so hard to believe it is September. I love fall, but I feel I've been gypped!

Rita, I think the veggies look great and I really love the peas. Zinna's seem to be doing well most everywhere...Ellie
