Jazzy- that’s awesome! Is that a road runner? I love little sculptures like that!

Cpeachy- yes, it is a road runner made out of old rail road spikes! I found it down in southern NM around 10 years ago and said "gotta have". I love it and it cleans up well every year with a bit of armourall. I also have a really cool old saw sculpture I got here in town during the recycled art fair a few years back. Recycle garden art is big here!
Glad you enjoy my garden sculptures!

We have a rooster made from used auto pieces. The artist gets them in Mexico. We love it.
Jazzy, Do you mulch with red bark?
0 -
Wren- yes I do. It looks the best with my landscaping. Holds the moisture in too and helps things to keep going in the summers here.
Home Depot has the best deals on it from all I have found (sometimes 3 bags for 10 bucks.....)

Picked apples and grapes yesterday - only a third of the crop
I see applesauce and grape juice in my future.

My younger grandsons sold grapes at the farmer's market last year and this. They have a reduced fee for kids to have a table.

Harvested a Rubbermaid container of green beans from the garden. Rinsed them off and have to snap them today. Might have at least one more harvest before its all done.

Nasturtiums are taking over my greenhouse tomatoes, but they're so pretty I let them.

JaBoo I have lavender too but mine never rebloomed this year.
lmurphy that is a pretty combo- the yellow tomatoes and nasturtiums.
yum-the grapes picture is sending me into the kitchen for some organic purplegrapes- but I had to buy mine.

Question...
I have several tomato plants that have sprouted on their own. Will they produce tomatoes?

Spontaneous tomatoes will absolutely fruit! In fact, I have kept my 'compost' tomatoes going for generations. Have never had to buy a tomato plant in TX! Seeds go back in compost and when they sprout the following autumn, I plant in my garden (I winter garden there).

lmurphy ... thank you. I did not know!

Coachvicky, I agree with IMurphy, they will grow fruit 🙂 I have at least 10 hokkaido pumpkins ripening on my compost pile, all from one plant... and I never planted it.

I will give the tomatoes a try! I am going to dry my okra seeds and try planting them next year. No one eats it in my family but me but I can give it away. The plants are beautiful and have the prettiest blooms.

Vicky- at least half of my tomato crop this year was surprise plants! I had so many coming up I had to thin them to the strongest, biggest plants.
I have a Rose of Sharon bush on front of my house that is huge. I’m pretty sure it’s three separate bushes that grew together. It has three different colored flowers depending which side you’re looking at.

I am also trying to dry and collect seeds for next year. I’ve had moderate success with lettuce seeds from last year. I saved some heirloom tomato seeds, some cukes, and I’m trying to save some beans from my best plant. I’ve got one huge pod that I’m just leaving on the plant.
The gardens are finishing up here, with the exception of kale and peppers. Kinda looking forward to clearing them out. Things are either sad and finished or overgrown and going to seed

Cpeachy that Rose of Sharon is beautiful!

Cpeachymom, wonderfull flowers!! I also like to save seeds of various veggies or flowers...
I went chasing sqirrels today 😀 I mean gathering walnuts 😀 The beasts are taking them by the dozens!! I chased several away, but they were deffinitelly back when I turned my back.
But still got some
and my aunt brought some of her veggies, received our honey in exchange. Picture taken after I'd already made and eaten a salad 😁
