You may have noticed that a lot of the recent posts here do not feature any pictures of our garden. It's like this: The Mister works full time so the bulk of routine garden maintenance is up to me. Well, July was wretchedly hot. So was the beginning of August. I got a little weeding done here and there but truth be told, I have NOT kept up with it very well. So now there are lots of weeds and just plain old fatigue. The plants are tired and so am I. Here is the photographic evidence along with some bright spots.

we tried growing tomatoes a couple years ago but the worms kept eating them.
also, why does your hibiscus have points?
I think it looks pointy because it was still in the process of opening for the day when I took the pic.
Looks pretty good in the garden. We are all tired of this bloody heat!
