Cool Weather Greens

Tonight I fixed a beautiful salad all from greens from the vegetable garden.  The temperatures will be warmer this week with night time lows around 70 and day time highs in the mid 80s (lots of humidity).  I hope this leads to some rain later in the week as predicted.

Also the pepper plant is fruiting and has tiny green peppers.  Maybe we will get a crop yet this year.

The morning glory, cross vine, yellow bells, duranta and lantana are blooming profusely.  The monarch butterflies are migrating through and seem to really like the duranta.  We fertilized the grass last week.  With the shorter days, the grass is not growing as quickly.  The Turk's cap are beginning to fade to to lack of sunlight.   Until it freezes, we should have lots of color in the yard.
