Peony Place

The harvest cometh...

I've been collecting seeds!  The seeds of my seeds have produced prodigiously...Nasturtiums, Love-in-a-Mist, Snapdragons, Coriander.  After a very heavy rain yesterday I had to pull out some of my 'overripe' flowers. Some of the zinnias (over 2 feet tall) were bending over onto the driveway, and carrying everything with them.  Never fear, I had 10 pots of mums waiting to be transplanted.  It will take them a few weeks to start filling in, but I'll have lots of fall color now.  I had to pull out the Nasturtiums, too.  They were spilling into the drive and smothering everything in their path.  And the snapdragons were nearly spent.  Most had to come out.  I had some Marjoram that was being crowded out and now it may have a chance to thrive.  Also, I found that my Lenten Roses hadn't died after all!  I found one hidden among the zinnias, and the others I had transplanted have all begun to leaf out.  I am so glad!! I finally have a few tomatoes beginning to ripen and my French Climbing Beans are a couple inches long.  Does somebody know a harvest song I can sing?!!
