It Says It All.....

Happy Gardening...

Harvest....

The veggie harvest hasn't been so good here this year.

Everybody around, has been showing their great harvests.

Not here.

Hmmm.....I did something wrong.

We had one nice Celebrity tomato.

It was very good.  It even got to ripen on the vine.

The squirrels must have thought it was too much trouble to go after just one.

But, look!

There are more!

It July.  In Texas.

Maybe our unusually cool weather (no triple digits yet),

have made the difference.

So now, I'm headed out to deal with this.

The squash hasn't done well.

The okra hasn't done well.

But, the cosmos is doing VERY well.

I'll have cosmos for the rest of my life.

How's your garden doing?

I'm headed out to clean up that mess, and plant more seeds.

I'm just hard headed enough not to give up.

Happy Gardening...

Wildlife Wednesday....July 2014...

Tina over at  My Gardener Says...

has started a new meme.

She's hosting 

Wildlife Wednesday, 

the first Wednesday of each month.

We have a lot of wildlife here.

From tiny bugs, to large four-legged critters.

There is always an abundance of wildlife.

We're never without the ever present deer.

Among the other four-legged creatures....

This little possum was in the cat's bed, on the porch.

And, the battle with the squirrels continues.

As it does with the raccoons.  Sorry, no photos of them or the armadillos.

There are lots of birds....

Cardinals, and Titmouse (is more than one Titmouse, Titmice?)

and lots of Sparrows....and, more.

A Green Heron, thinking he's hiding.

And this month, we've seen more of the Egytian Geese around.

I think maybe they've decided this might be a good place to live.

And the very efficient clean-up guys...

Black and Turkey Vultures. 

And, this guy wasn't in our garden.

But, we've seen them around here.

This one was in Lake Texana, east of Victoria.

Our daughter and family are camping there, 

and we went down to spend the day.

We didn't see any of the alligators.

But, that's ok. 

 At least we don't have alligators here.

I'll have more to show you next month.

Be sure to visit Tina, and see what others have to show.

What kind of wildlife do you have in your garden?

'Til later...

Take care..
