Garden

== = = =Zinnias still blooming profusely providing nectar for the Gulf Fritillary butterflies coming over from the prairie. Can you see the fritillary camouflaged in the photo?=



==The grape vines are now hidden behind the sunflowers along the fence, but they did produce enough grapes to make about two gallons of pale yellowish-green grape juice. The juice is stashed away in Mrs. Shong's freezer waiting for a lucky class that would like to make grape jelly. First teacher/class to contact Mrs. Shong can make the jelly.==

The summer veggies are finishing up their season, just a few left such as eggplant, peppers, and okra.


=Sweet Potatoes are WAY ready!!! I hope some lucky fifth graders will be harvesting these beauties right away!!! If not, my family will be eating sweet potatoes for a long time!!=
