🌱 December Petunia bloom in 8b. We have a very gradual fall here and some plants seem to have acclimated to light freezes. We’ve been as low as 28 with several nights at 30°
In spite of that I still have some peppers and today a Petunia bloom

🌱 Probably the last blooms of the season. We’re gonna have a freeze in 8b sooner or later.

🌱 I think my first try did not post. Here’s a sweet potato I grew weighing in at over 2.5 lbs. They love the summer heat

Finally found out what’s eating my pepper leaves and leaving semi circle bite marks. This is caused by leaf cutter bees. They are beneficial and great pollinators. The “damage” to the plants does not hurt the plants and is far outweighed by the benefits of pollination 🌱

Saw these hiking in BC. Someone else says they are Hydnellum caeruleum but those appear to have blue caps whereas these have blue stems. Any mushroom experts know for sure? 🌱

🌱 The bees just love this bloom. I believe this is a Yucca Faxoniana. There are probably 20 to 30 bees at a time all day on this bloom. Hopefully they also pollinate my other plants!
