The different varieties of Eggplant grown this year have produced a lot. I will dry a lot of these and add them to food.

Sun Race
My fast growing Bigfoot Willow is racing against the early morning Sun to reach high up in the sky. Bigfoot Hybrid Willow is one of the fastest growing trees in America, and is the fastest growing tree I have grown in Iowa.
Binded To Tree
Bindweed has been crawling up my Princeton Elm tree. Making it look like the tree has white flowers.
Goslings Growing Up
There were plenty of Canadian goslings on the pond this year. They are growing up and looking like their parents now.
Walking Stick On Hand
There was a walking stick insect I came across this month. It was a young one, so was still small, with a light green color.
Giant Fleeceflower
Giant Fleeceflower has long-lasting white flowers. It has been slowly spreading and should be ready to divide soon.
Perennial Four O’ Clock
The Desert Four O’ Clock is a flowering perennial. This Mirabilis has many blooms through the summer.
Chinese Catalpa Flowers
The Chinese Catalpa flowers early in life. The bean pods that form later are thinner than Catalpa speciosa.
Variegated Yucca
The Variegated Yucca is flowering this summer. It was planted only a few years ago.
Purple Green
The Purple Beech and Bigfoot Willow add contrasting colors in the landscape. Also their growth speed is in stark contrast of each other.
