Bat box

Well, the bat box is up. John did an absolute meticulous job. Nice guy. Kudos to anyone willing to dig a post hole in summer!

I will post a picture later as I was too tired yesterday to get a shot and it is dark outside at the moment. B spritzed the little brown things to give them an incentive to go looking for accommodations outside our attic.

The garden is not as prolific as in past years, but has been producing a steady stream of cucumbers and tomatoes. The beans have started to come in. I planted a number of home grown seeds and have a bean plant that seems to be a cross between what southerners call field peas and black beans. OK with me. Seems just right.

There is a red and yellow theme to this time of summer. Blooming are fennel, evening primrose, those native cone type flowers whose name I do not know, and red swamp hibiscus. Also some fiery hot peppers are reddening. I don't think I planted any fiercely hot peppers, so there must have been a mix up in the seeds somewhere. Of course, they are prolifically thriving, while the tamer peppers are just in a medium mode. What shall I do with all those intensely hot peppers?
