Scooter-Man's Summer Garden 2001

The corn is as high as an elephant's eye... and isn't it purty? And I grew it... ALL BY MYSELF, well, except that my neighbor and fishin' partner Bud DID start the seeds! Thanks Bud! It was good eatin' too. Farmin' lessson; stagger the plantings to spread out the harvest!

Rumi planted the Cosmos (see below).
She picked a bundle and put them on the table. Wow, what a show! I planted a row of Zinias too (the giant variety) but they were not blooming yet when these pictures were taken. I'll put them on Summer Garden 2001, page 2.

This is my new Crepe Myrtle I picked up at the nursery this summer. I have wanted one for some time but had to wait until they were in bloom so I could tell what color I was getting.

Rumi(Too) got this picture of a dragonfly sitting on the tip of a Glad bulb.
Sure was nice of him to sit still so she could get this picture of him.
She was right on top of him!

This is a pumpkin growing up, dreaming about winning a contest in the fall.
The picture below is a squash blossom. They are beautiful aren't they? No wonder the Indians used it so much in decorations. Hey, maybe Rumi should do some on a pot!
