Planting a peony i dug from my tn garden here at cape cod house…sno ball bushes were so drooping when we got here…hooked up hose rite away and started watering…they have perked up and now happy campers.
Put up the bird feeders yesterday…filled them up…slowly they r coming…after 20+ yrs being here every summer, then 2 miss the last 3, it may take a bit 4 them to re-find our location…chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, and king fishers and finches r bak
Robins also…Waiting on the foxes, guineas, cardinals. Blackbirds and crows even havent showed up yet…but it has only been 3 days…
Hoping fellow wooters can help here. Found this wonderful beautiful lily at arnolds flower garden…know it is a canna but cant find the exact one with these deep burgendy leaves… any thoughts?

A few weeks ago this was a tiny volunteer plant that came up in a flower bed. We let it grow to see what it was.
Pumpkins?
Id luv 2 get it 2 u if possible…shipping costs r ridiculooo.
Looks like some kind of squash. Curious to see which variety forms.
- reminds me to photo update my zucchini plant harvest and other veggies.
It has had about 8 of these little squashes but none has matured. They get a little bigger than this and then wither away.
Tomatoes righted themselves. No more cracking. Early heavy rain and heat really beat them up!
Same here, rebounded twice. Gave up after 3rd round of rain & heat. Dried up stalk with one lone 'mater on it.
It definitely has been a weird ol’ summer.
Yep. I didn’t even plant this tomato seed (nor plant), it just grew where I had them last year. I didn’t discourage it, I let it grow and helped when it needed help. I got no less than TEN tomatoes off this determined thing! (They were assorted sizes. Shall we call that another “weird summer” thing? Three or four “good” sized ones, palm size, for sandwiches, and the rest from cherry to huge cherry sizes. All good!)
Update: 8/22/22 - 26 feet and still growing. ![]()
Holy moley…
Would it be good to prune it on the end so it is signaled to go horizontal before it trys to cross the street?
Also go each day and tell it to make babies.
