Popcorn & Late Bloomers

This is the only real result of the popcorn experiment. There were several other ears, but none of them had actual kernels. I should note that the ones that didn't have kernels had bugs...

This patch of yellow caught my eye the other day and I took a second look. I had given up on these plants completely, but apparently they have buds on them now. Better late than never:

budded, but no yellow flower yet:

And I was pretty much ready to pull these tall guys out last week after we had really bad wind that nearly knocked them over....but look...they apparently are going to flower after all:

And I've been busy. Now that my sister is expecting (and knows it's a boy) I got all motivated to do a little crocheting. I'd found a pattern, but had to wait to know if I should buy blue or pink yarn. Well, blue it is. I had some really unfun dental work done and took a day off from work. So yesterday's sick day yielded...drum roll please....sleeves. Still more to be done. There is supposed to be a little hood and navy blue edging...but I'm pretty proud of myself considering the only things I've really ever made before are scarves:

Busy Bees

These little red guys are volunteers:The sweet peas are still blooming...some going to seed, or maybe I should say going to pod:
Took the last of this season's potting soil and sort of top dressed my tomato plants. They had very gangly stems that were laying on the ground...figured it wouldn't hurt to cover 'em up:
