Here in Central Maryland, we are well into August of this very wet and sultry summer. The good news is that everything is green, but that green may very well be algae.
We've stopped watering our container plants, continued to fertilize, and since this is the time when plants tend to get 'leggy' and stop producing flowers, everyone got a trim. This will encourage growth from the core. Hopefully.
I've also pulled out all the leggy zinnias and re-planted seeds. I'm hoping to have flowers in October.
Within the last four months, I've switched from a PC to Apple, and I'm still not able to post pictures from my iPad. You'd think it would be easy. It probably is, but I'm not yet able to figure it out. Everyone keeps telling me it's intuitive, but evidently I'm not that smart.

Mea Culpa or Dorothea Lange I'm Not
Sorry about the tease -- I really didn't mean it that way. I've taken exactly four pictures with the new camera and only one was on purpose. (And I'm sure no one wants to see the close up of my fingers, feet, sweater). I'm just not comfortable with the camera, yet, and all the bells and whistles may be nice, but I can't see the damn things without my glasses which bang up against my face when I'm looking through the viewfinder. I need to find a way to see what I'm aiming at on the screen, but so far I can't find a way to do that. BETSY, OH BETSY!!! Do you know what I mean? If I can't soon figure it out, it's going back.
