I like the flowers but like you I did not do anything with it. Come visit me if you have time Cozy Thyme Cottage.

I can't believe that one is growing in the middle of the tree ring! I'm not crazy about the way they smell, but they sure are pretty and beneficial.

I didn't get close ups of the fading cucumbers. Oh, the garden is not looking so pretty, but I'm still doing what I can to make something of it.<br /><br />When Heidi digs in the back yard, she may be looking for rabbits, but I think it has to do with releasing energy. I'm glad she does not have access to the vegetable garden.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-13514910977531261692012-09-06T20:18:53.283-05:002012-09-06T20:18:53.283-05:00Thanks, Sue, my borage is in my vegetable garden. ...Thanks, Sue, my borage is in my vegetable garden.

Your vegetable garden looks so much better than mine, Sue; I'd be too embarrassed to show mine. Besides all the problems from the drought, I noticed something had been nibbling at a few of the tomatoes and zucchini. Sophie has been digging holes in the garden, too--I think there must be a vole in there the way she's acting. So now I have holes in the vegetable garden, too! At least I can enjoy the marigolds and zinnias amongst the few veggies.<br /><br />Did you get any of the rain from Isaac this weekend?

Only the pure yellow appeared again. I don't get the seeds from them and just rely on wherever they grow, and just transfer to areas i want them to be. Marigolds are good insect repelants so good together with vegies. I am amazed at its persistence in that stub meaning it needs just a little nutrient for growth.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-7488697163183362972012-09-06T00:50:07.400-05:002012-09-06T00:50:07.400-05:00Hi Sue, I sure enjoyed my tour of your garden in y...Hi Sue, I sure enjoyed my tour of your garden in your earlier post, you have such an abundance of wonderful plants. <br /><br />The marigolds make me smile at how prolific and tough they are, coming up in the most random of places.

I plant some in my little vegetable/herb garden, but that's about it. I think because they are so easy and were the first things I grew as a kid, I feel reluctant to put them in my flower beds. As if real gardeners do not grow marigolds. Your post reminds me that my reluctance to plant more marigolds is just silly.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-86132120968210081292012-09-05T22:28:25.337-05:002012-09-05T22:28:25.337-05:00What beautiful marigolds!
