Veggies are holding their own in spite of the unstable weather we have had during this growing season. Peppers are just starting to look promising and the pole beans and tomatoes are still hanging in there.

Grown by one of my friends on X.
This is one the most beautiful dahlias I have ever seen!
Dahlia “Just Married”.
White Flower Farms has it for only $11.00!
Definitely on order for next year.

This has been a very unusual and challenging year for flower gardening. Some plants bloomed early, and did better than expected. Others are just now (mid-September) coming into their own. This collage is an assortment of things found in the garden today (09-19-2025)

In the middle of a discussion with friends just now, about growing peanuts, and it seems like several have given them a try at least once, with varying degrees of success. I had to try it at least one time to see what they looked like growing and to see if I could. (A typical Vero characteristic)

Except for the vase and cording, all material is from God’s Garden. Perfect harmony.

It took a while for them to get started, but the dahlias are doing great now.
So many beautiful colors from the packet of seed that I planted early in the year.
I hope a lot of them survive the winter in the ground.

I think if I had to pick a favorite from all the flowers I have grown over the years, it would be the “Stargazer Lily”!

Perfection personified!!

Pole beans are coming on strong now and need to be processed. Great for winter dinners.

At least SOMEONE appreciates my beautiful beans! LOL
