This week in the garden

Pavonia is finally blooming!

Late larkspur from my sister's patch.

The lemon cucumber only produced one fruit before the vine mysteriously died. The skin was a little thick, but really good flavor.

Roasted eggplant, volunteer cherry tomatoes with some goat cheese & vinaigrette on quinoa.

Cosmos and zinnia patch beginning to bloom.

Beach vitex seems to like its new spot.

Grandpa Otts morning glory is a bit of a slow grower on the back fence, but put out a few blooms this week.

I thought the widow's tears (blue flowers) would be done by the time it got this hot, but they're aggressively spreading. Think it's time to start pulling them up. They do look pretty behind the cigar plant at the moment...
