I was worried about spraying the trunks of the crape myrtle after the damage done by the scale infestation. But seeing all the suckers shooting out made me get the bottle out.

Veggies!
I have a hankerin to grow some veggies. Of course, being late in the season means very few direct-sow options left. Here’s a short wishlist of ideas:
- Soy beans (edamame)
- Bush/French beans (preferably stringless)
- Okra
- Peppers (yes more of them!)
- Swiss Chard (ornamental)
- Sweet Potato (ornamental)
According to Burpee, these veggies can be direct sown into the garden this time of year. More regional-specific reading can be found at the Aggie Horticulture site.
Question of the day: what’s eating my Lobelia erinus Regatta Midnight Blue?
