Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness
 | Despite the fog, just about the only mists around here are from my sweat and tears as I haul water to thirsty plants. Thankfully, we have cool cloudiness so far today, but tomorrow and the next several days are predicted to be hot. No rain. But you already knew this if you've been reading any garden blogs from the central to eastern US. |
Well, I've got something here that I bet nobody else has. Is this the world's cutest potato or what?
I dug up the last of the potatoes yesterday and this was among them. |  |
| We're not doing too badly in the mellow fruitfulness department, considering the drought, although these aren't what immediately comes to mind when you think of fruit. |
 Euonymus americanus |  Passiflora incarnata |  Viburnum prunifolium |
 Quercus coccinea |  Ilex verticillata |  Chasmanthium latifolium |
And now I'm off to work on the potager, where more fruitfulness awaits...
