On June 11, 2010, I was checking my orange butterfly weeds. I had put them in a pot, but they weren’t doing so well. They were still green, but were drooping. I saw that one was completely dead. I started to remove it, but saw that there was a sprout coming up from the root. So I just cut the dead top away. One of the other plants was broken, but the leaves at the top have perked up. So I may have orange butterfly weeds without having to revisit our friend and dig up more or wait for hers to have seeds.

I was waiting for the hot peppers to start bearing and found that a cayenne pepper plant had sneaked one by me. My wife spotted an almost full-grown pepper that I hadn’t seen.

The garlic has beautiful blue flowers.

The fig bushes are loaded with little figs.

The red hot cherry pepper plants have peppers on them.

The blueberry bushes are hanging full of green berries.
