My Zuccinni's were coming along so well last weekend.....
But the heat last week took its toll on my planter of Zuccinni...
So....I repotted the plants...
Cleaned off all the shrivelled leaves...
Laid the tiny Zuccinni's that had fallen off...to rest...
And I started watering...and watering...
From Thursday to Sunday....
I watered...and....on Sunday...I saw new growth.....new leaves....and some beautiful blossoms...
They had survived...they were even flourishing....
I picked a new spot for them....more shaded towards mid-afternoon...
Fingers crossed that they will survive the week...with no rain....

| Another Pepper flowering....not sure what happened to the other pepper already growing....maybe a raccoon ate it?! |
 |
| More Tomato flowers.....but no fruit yet... :o( |
 |
| But .....I am really impressed with the improvement in the Zuccinni's.... |
 |
| This is the first Hosta flower....I had shown you the buds last week... |
 |
| I believe these purple guys are probably weeds...but they come back every year....and I like them!! Check out that piston!!! |
 |
| I was absolutely thrilled to see this last weekend....one of my yuccas is going to flower!!!! Fantastic!!! hasn't bloomed for about 5 years...I will definitely be featuring these flowers when they open... |
 |
| And I even got a little bug!!! |
 |
| Milkweed is flowering....the Monarchs and Hummingbirds love these.... |
 |
| Summer Anemone has nice big buds....these are a very soft pale pink...lovely... |
Check out this great afghan I picked up at the Port Thrift...
It is really big....and in perfect shape...
Cost me a whopping $3.50!!!!
I still never understand why people get rid of things like this....it will be an heirloom!!!!
It actually fits a double bed....LOVE it!!
Found a home on the couch at the cottage....
For those "cooler" evenings... :o)
I worked in the garden ALL afternoon....
Man.....it was windy!!! Man....am I tired!!!
Cheers! :o)

Is that afghan like the one I am trying to finish? The one you bought is alot more intricately patterned though. What a find!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like your devon...but a few more colors I think...I had to have it!!!
DeleteWow, your garden is looking great. We had heavy rain all day Sunday and today with more coming the next 2 days. Everything is drowing now. It's supposed to be a nice weekend. I hope! The afghan is really pretty and perfect for 'cool' nights at the cottage. Pamela
ReplyDeleteWe have not had any rain...and the humidity is starting again...what a crazy summer!
Deleteyay...the zucchini has come back to life! haha...water does wonders! Our heat has finally gone away!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that thrift store find! Isn't that just the most fun?
I am so glad I saved the zuchini...I guess I was spelling it wrong...oh well...I got a few other thrifty finds :o)
Deletebut....you will have to wait!!
I have picked up several knitted afghans in the past. I also wonder who would toss such beautiful creations. My only guess is whoever made them made so many that there was no way anyone could ever keep them all. It is too bad, so much love goes into making them
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree...my mom made a few, and when she passed away, all the grown grandchildren, each got one..:o)
DeleteWonderful photos Linda, what a harvest you're going to have. Not growing any courgettes this year but I am going to pinch the flowers from a friends plant to stuff.
