It's a Green, Red, Christmasy Fourth

Happy Independence Day! Garden Insanity loves all things America, American, and Americana.

Here are some of today's views.

The hibiscus was a housewarming gift many years ago from my husband's aunt and uncle. I'm very pleased with how well it's done in Michigan (it winters inside). These are its first blooms this year.


We gave it some extra dirt and a lot of water.


It always is very thirsty.

In garden 2, we have a few new sprouts; I think they're green beans.


We found today's requisite lucky clover.



The tomatoes are doing beautifully.


The cayenne peppers continue to do well, and their current color and configuration remind me of Christmas. Spicy, delicious Christmas. It will be like Christmas when get to put some of these peppers in our burritos.
