Sunday August 21 garden report

Blackberries are all gone, and just a few tomatoes left.  There are still some cherry tomatoes, and quite a few tomatillos still ripening.  Lots of hot peppers, and ground cherries still coming in. The sunflowers are gorgeous, especially when the swallowtails and goldfinches are on them.  

And check out the visitor to the garden in the photos below.  Eastern box turtles can live up to 100 years in the wild!  At Jug Bay, turtles receive notches in the edges of their shell to help ID them, and this one must be pretty good at hiding - no notches yet.
