Here's the last bit of summer from my garden.  That's a white eggplant, not an ostrich egg!  And my cat going by.

I had Eggplant Parmigiana at our IHD dinner at Olive Garden for my entrée!!

Bad news concerning my growing things.   The mealybugs totally took over my seasoning pepper plants.  I had dealt with them and had lots of lovely peppers.  I then left it for a while and now I am going to have to start over.
My spinach had another problem.  I got some good leaves for a while.  Now all the leaves are small and it is bearing blossoms and seeds.  Something else I will have to start over.
The thyme, parsley and marjoram are going good however.

I am very happy to say that with the weather holding the tomatoes are still ripening on our plants.  I think we might get one more batch before we get a frost.  I also have some roses blooming. They always seem to do better here during the off months compared to the summer.

We never managed to get any fall garden things planted this year.  Maybe there is still time for some lettuce.  Today I am focusing on bringing in the houseplants.

My cats (Coco and Alpine) are enjoying the sunny weekend.  That's Coco in the picture with the flowers.

too bad about the bugs Bajanne.

This year I have three tomato plants - two cherry, and one full size. The artichoke plants didn't make through the winter but the strawberries are going strong, the grapes are as plentiful as last year and it is a bumper crop of blue berries. I started cantaloupes from seed - they're way ahead of where I was last year - they flowered about two weeks ago. I also started onions from seed and planted them between my potatoes.

I have a lot of lettuce - I've had salad every night for the last month, with no end in sight though my spinich bolted so I pulled it all this weekend and replanted some that I hope will be up in August. I also have carrots and garlic. And a pot of oregano.

Flowers too. Lillis that are showing their buds, cosmos that haven't flowered yet and nasturtiums which have been flowering for weeks.

When I retire I am going to have a vegetable garden again. The last year I grew vegetables was the year I opened the school. Discovered that working 10 hours/day and gardening don't mix too well!  :thumbdown;

I sure miss those fresh, fresh vegetables. Especially the ones that didn't even make it to the house.  :clap;

Oh and corn - I have a row of corn about two feet high. Last year I was out of town when the corn came in and I heard it wasn't very tasty so this year I am trying a different variety.

I'm jealous, too.

but did you get lots and lots of rain today Tinah..  I had lots of herbs, a lime tree and a bay leaf tree.  Didn't want to get out and water with the tubes hanging over my chi chi so they all just died.  Only thing living is big bushes and my cactii.

I don't grow veggies any more (except herbs) but since my transplant I'm a planting fool again.  I've planted a large tree, two new climbing hydrangeas, two viburnum shrubs, eleven hostas, lots of annuals and I'm going back to the nursery today for more.  Some people have eating disorders where they just can't stop eating...I think a have a gardening disorder.  I always feel at my most peaceful when I'm digging or tending in some way to my plants.

Oh, Del,
I am soooo jealous. When I was growing up we had a beautiful bridal wreath bush by our porch. That is something that I have always wanted and still don't have. That and oak leaf hydrangeas. One of these days.  :2thumbsup;
