Today in the Garden


It's a glorious day in the Texas Hill Country today.  Everything in my Fall garden is thriving in this beautiful weather.  We are in the high 50's at night and high 80's during the day.  

In the vegetable and herb garden

eggplant
bell peppers
jalapenos
leeks
okra
green beans
mustard greens
lettuce of all kinds
basil 
arugula
stevia
oregano
thyme
chives

In the flower garden

Zinnias
Celosia
Mexican Bush Sage
Purple Cone Flower
Red Bachelor Buttons
Purple and Orange Cosmos
Pink Dahlias

In the coop

Buffy has gone broody, AGAIN!  We are getting 2-3 eggs a day.  There should be more.  I have a feeling she is keeping the other hens from feeling comfortable laying in the coop and they may be laying elsewhere.  Guess we need an egg hunt!


Enjoy your day,

Outside Lisa

August 8 Photo

August 8~  


I love this photo.  It captures not only my beloved pink Zinnias, but also a beautiful dragonfly who stopped by to visit my garden.  I missed two days of entries in my photography assignment, but I think I made up for it with this one!  Enjoy!
