Larger Onions

Growing large Onions has worked great for drying.

But even these Sweet Onions will make my eyes water when cutting them.

I found some weird patches of Brome Grass.

It looks like the seed heads germinated and grew right on the plant.

I planted out the Variegated Chinese Elm and some root sprouts have suckered up.

This Elm’s variegation is highly variable.

There are too many Rose of Sharon cultivars to get, but I have gotten some, to add flowers for late summer.

This Rose of Sharon cultivar has many double flowered blooms.

There are many different Viburnum species and cultivars, so there is a lot of variability in the fruit.

This fruit is an uncommon yellow color.

Pears are starting to ripen and I have harvested some for fresh eating.

My Stark Delicious Pears and Pineapple Pears are the first to ripen, ripening in the month of August.

Summer Squash usually is reliable and can produce heavily.

These particular Zucchini are attractively colored and striped.

Ready for impact!

Looks like the Sweet Corn is maturing.

Eating fresh Sweet Corn is one of the best things about summer.
