The photo above is the home two doors down from me. Someone is growing a lot of something! It sort of resembles a jungle. I see some yellow flower buds. I’m sure they are growing some kind of food item. They remind of some kind of squash. I’m waiting to see what they actually turn out to be.

You can’t see real well, but there’s also something growing from the ground up, and I have no idea what it is. I’m enjoying watching the progress.

On a side note, my Places, Plants, and Animals post from May 30th, ended with me sharing a photo of a plant with little purple flowers that my son bought for me on a trip to Longwood Gardens. Some of you had left comments that you wanted to know how the plant fared for me when I mentioned that it didn’t seem to be doing well and that I transplanted it into a larger pot in hopes it would survive. Sadly, although the lady from Longwood said it would live through the summer, kept indoors, it did not. In the end, I realized that the roots of the plant had not been planted deeply enough into the original soil by Longwood, and that was its demise. I wish I would have noticed that when I did the transplant because that might have made a difference, but sadly, I missed that and so I no longer have that plant. I may check with a local plant nursery to see if they have any and can give me more information about, possibly, bringing one home that will survive. I’ll keep you posted.
