There is still some summer left to enjoy

According to the news, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. But nature does not care about unofficial things. Although the pools are closed and the kids are headed back to school; the mosquitoes are still biting. The flowers are exploding with color and the herbs are at their peak. As the warm breezes flow it sends their perfume into the air. The collards, kale, tomatoes and peppers are still growing and waiting to be picked. We will reap the harvest until the autumnal equinox and the first frost hits the ground. It still smells and feels like summer, so until then, I am going to depend on Mother Nature to tell me when summer is over… not the news.

Denys's Rose of Sharon is in full bloom

Denys's lavender gives the garden its lovely scent



If you look closely, you will see a caterpillar that found its home in Denys's Parsley

Monna's Basil & Oregano make great garden-mates
