1st Sunflower Autumn Harvest, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

It poured rain this morning and left the atmosphere very steamy-like a sauna. I was happy to see this cheerful sunflower, which I think is Autumn Harvest because of the color variations in the middle. The deer got to a few of these, but luckily I had some behind a fence in the garden. In this above ‘open’ garden, the groundhog or deer ate Cosmos and Marigolds. A few days ago, I planted more zinnia seeds as it looks a bit weedy and sad here.
Our once lovely tomatoes seem to be dying off and the fruit is getting bad. Too much of a good thing with all the rain. We have gotten a nice crop of cukes so far (about 10 which isn’t bad for us) and zucchini along with grape and cherry tomatoes. The end of this week we’ll be digging around the potatoes to see if we got any of those. We also got about a pound of green beans, so there may be more of those too!
