Yard Stuff

I took these pictures several weeks ago. No longer are the lilies in bloom but have given way to surprise lilies aka naked ladies. The garden is much more over grown now, tomatoes everywhere, okra producing and the potatoes no longer blooming. The tomatilloes have bushed out and heavy with fruit have fallen over. The winter squash patch has come along, lots of butternut squash and acorn squash. The pretty orange lilies are from Kim's old yard in Michigan. I love the way they look upside down. The stargazer lilies were very pretty and fragrant this year. The pagoda is swallowed up by the clematis. We are waiting for the big bloom show. The English marigold across the front walk was very showy this year. They have become my favorite flower seed, so easy to grow. I lost my gazey ball to hurricane Ike last fall. I've replaced them with new ones that I don't think will break...bowling balls!! I especially like the orange flame one.
