Your garden looks wonderful and that tomato - wow! Never seen anything quite like it :-) Interesting that the squirrels eat your Rose of Sharon. We don't get many squirrels around here now, since many of the trees that once surrounded our house are now gone, but we do see them occasionally and I've never seen them on or near our rose of sharon bushes.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-14111728510557738322014-08-06T00:10:42.478-05:002014-08-06T00:10:42.478-05:00That's pretty cool, Bob!

Bet I've read almost all of your posts, too - your large country garden nearer to Texas wildlife is fun to read about. <br />But I can't imagine not having a computer until 2008... I was introduced to garden bulletin boards around 1991, hopped on board and never looked back!

Sometimes I wish this one were still in a big container! <br />Happy August!

I'm still learning - but the rules (and weather) change faster than I can learn. <br /><br />I don't remember seeing anoles in the wilds of Chicagoland, but they'd occasionally run across woodland paths when we were in Wisconsin state parks. We didn't call them anoles back then - the usual name was 'American chameleon'.<br /><br />Annie Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-88370026012686564822014-07-26T22:08:11.488-05:002014-07-26T22:08:11.488-05:00Congratulations Annie/Kathy.

I do like to stop by for a visit to see what's coming along.I go back and forth and back again with the idea about planting roses and, naturally, after seeing yours, I want to put in a Lady Banks. May your garden withstand the heat of our Texas summer.

In the six years I've been blogging, I've seen so many bloggers come and go, that to stay with it that long is quite an accomplishment. It's interesting that you say perennials in Austin only live for a few years before they decline. I'm sure if I were to move anywhere else, I'd have to learn how to garden all over again! Great capture of the anole--now that's something we don't have in Illinois:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-9495172156762223322014-06-19T23:50:43.335-05:002014-06-19T23:50:43.335-05:00Thanks, Linda!

My garden seems to lag about 5 or 6 days behind the central Austin gardens so I know what you mean. <br />I hope to get another flush of flowers from Peter's Purple. It seems pretty established now, so if it gets really crummy I'll cut it down almost to ground level and maybe use some John's Recipe on it. <br />Happy Summer!Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-8579247984960786152014-06-19T23:43:56.092-05:002014-06-19T23:43:56.092-05:00Thanks, Katina.

Although I'm not crazy about the fluorescent magenta, it's great to have monarda again and the hummingbirds are glad, too.

Catching up, though.<br />Glad to know deadheading the monarda is working. The one I got from Bob Beyer is really doing well, but is looking that little bit ratty.<br />Good luck with your ongoing battle with the squirrels. They're pesky little devils.<br />Linda/patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639872362919575736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-7506164354530847942014-06-19T11:19:02.909-05:002014-06-19T11:19:02.909-05:00Love your yard.

I do wish the maroon beebalm I saw in Pennsylvania would grow down here - we saw it at the B&B we stayed at in Dutch Country and I was smitten with it. Then Peter's Purple came out and it was all good - but I would like some different colors than just the purple which I have all over the place.katinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658859113915782535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-39124672733509879892014-06-19T03:36:45.854-05:002014-06-19T03:36:45.854-05:00Your yard is as lovely as ever.Your yard is as lovely as ever.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-40000385506765694462014-06-18T18:28:44.133-05:002014-06-18T18:28:44.133-05:00I started using Feedly a while back to keep track ...I started using Feedly a while back to keep track of blogs I follow, but realized this evening I hadn't signed on to it for weeks.
