Go for it, Marian! You can do the same thing on a smaller scale on your deck. In fact, I bet you already have just by grouping the potted plants. Do you have a bakerÂs rack or old table to add heightÂso you can work without bending over? Look around for items you can repurpose to plant inÂa cracked tea cup, wooden box or metal pan. Plant some cuttings or rescue the next clearance annuals you find in the parking lot when you go to the grocery store. Add a few little items that make you smile, a pretty rock or something you found of interest around the yard and youÂll have a neat little vignette to share! I would love to see whatÂs on your deck right now! Eden, I should also clarify my fairy garden is not exactly a "garden"Âmore of a nook with shade plants where I indulge in the whimsical. DH will be home soon to badger me about going to buy a new camera and after I learn how to use it (thatÂs what I donÂt enjoy) IÂll get back to posting photos. We have company coming in the 3rd week of July and then IÂm looking forward to a nice, quiet August. Time for a few projects, make changes in the garden (begin shuffling again) have more time to Idyll at my leisure, and pick up a book without thinking of more pressing things I have to get doneÂaaaah sounds good! This was supposed to be a quick reply to Marian and I just kept typing because I donÂt want to get involved in #484 right now. When DH comes through the door, IÂm going to hit him up for quick take out Chinese. The heat and humidity are murderous again today Âwatering the gardens, replenishing supplies here and running errands has left me unwilling to lift a finger. Remember the old saying?Â"ItÂs hot enough to make you wanna slap your grandma" Well, itÂs just about that, lol.

Today it's cold and overcast -- no, really!! -- in the San Francisco Bay Area. The vivid color has left the Chinese pistache trees, and the leaves are falling to the ground. You have to be careful when there's too many, they're actually quite slippery en masse, even on a concrete sidewalk. Only 1 rain so far in the last month but Nov 1st starts our rainy season and they are forecasting a mild El Nino year, so a bit more rain than usual is expected. I have the rare gift of being able to stay home until the end of the year, then will have to go out and get a new job. So I am taking the time to get our legal/financial affairs in order (have procrastinated long enough!) and occasionally get out into the garden to do the bigger tasks I've been putting off. Took out one star jasmine but will let my gardener take out the other, I think it's too big for me to handle by myself. Will take out the Senecio confusem vine -- pretty, but the ever-present ants love to cultivate aphids on it like mad. I hate spraying, so have decided to take it down and plant something more sensible and pest-free. High winds made the cannas lean over. Soon I'll have to tie them up or cut them back. The new plantings have done well in the final part of the backyard that we finished just a year ago. We had bright orange and red canna flowers almost the entire year. It was so pleasant to sit out on the new lower patio on warm weekends, better than a vacation because it was right outside the door! Nursed the beds through the dry summer and now we'll see how the plantings do if we indeed get a wet winter. The soil in this section is still mostly clay, and I may find myself replacing some plants by the spring. But that's for the future; right now I'm looking forward to not having to drag the hose around for the next few months. There's so many plants still in bloom here. I walked to the post office and enjoyed seeing everybody's landscaping. Some bad, some good, but everybody's is different. No boring conformity in this area! From my own garden I cut roses, hydrangeas and dahlias for the vases. Aren't they pretty?

Actually no, the cucumber and summer squash seeds were not saved (by me) seeds, but came from an organic seed place, as I had not grown either in some years. It is interesting that many people have asked me what would happen if I planted the hybridized seeds. I have no idea what the answer would be! Actually hybridized mixes do occur the same year. The flowers need pollinating between their own flowers in order to develop fruits, and if pollen from another compatible species gets mixed in, the fruit will develop accordingly. My neighbor one year had a family of pumpkin/winter squash fruits that were the result of winter squash in his garden mixing with a hill of pumpkins accidentally sprung from Halloween pumpkins discarded the previous fall in a nearby weedy patch. They probably weren't edible but they made interesting curiosities on his porch railing that autumn! By the end of summer, my red, orange, and yellow nasturtium blossoms have always given way to many multi-toned specimens, as if nature took a watercolor paintbrush to them and painted streaks of orange on yellow and red on orange. When I plant the saved seeds the following year, the blooms revert to separate red, orange, and yellow blooms. These are seeds I've saved for some 8 or 10 generations now. It is remarkable how many sources on the web deny that cucumbers will cross pollinate with zucchinis or summer squash. All I can say is come look at my cucumbers with their yellow coloring and crooknecks, and tell me where, if not from their neighboring heirloom summer squash, these genes arose! The mysteries of plant biology!
