One of the labels I would happily give myself is "gardener." I was a Master Gardener at one time, but family commitments pulled me away from that program. Though I did not appreciate my mother's gardening wisdom when I was a youngster, I'm happy to report that in some cosmic way, much of her knowledge has come through to me over the years.
Temperatures have cooled enough for me to want to tackle the very-much-needed cleanup in my garden. I spent time the past two afternoons clearing vines and tree seedlings that have invaded from neighbors' yards. This is the sort of necessary work wherein all one's efforts go into the trash. I did take a moment to notice how the vincas are flowering with wild abandon. Usually they are fried by now, but we have had just enough rain to keep them blooming. The next mission is to tidy the sunflower patch which has gone rather wild.
Below is the newest addition to the window garden in my woman cave. I managed to kill its predecessor, so I'm hoping this one is a bit more forgiving. I'm not sure I got a lot of my mother's houseplant knowledge, as my track record with houseplants is a bit "iffy."
Enjoy some vegetation today!
