!!!!!!!!!!!! SEPP to Boot: Stephen's Experience (BEL)

Hard to tell without seeing more of the plant, but those flowers look very similar to the field bindweed which loves to engulf … well everything else in my yard.

I think this plant is the 'lesser bindweed' (Convolvulus arvensis), a smaller version of bindweed (and less invasive)

BEL #642

It rained most of the day today. Humid and cool. Quite uncharacteristic for early August. I can't complain about it however, as I'm certain the plants appreciated the reprieve and the extra drink.

I took in a couple gifts today, as well. THANK YOU Rob for the king-size Kindling Cracker! I'm excited to have a chance to use this...!



Also, I found this in my House cubby storage spot. Somebody *cough*Brian*cough*sneaked this in there with a generous cash gift. Thank you! I appreciate this.



Finally: the month of July is mostly about keeping the plants alive while they essentially go dormant to endure the stifling temperatures. And yet, sometimes there are the underdogs, which seem to thrive even when we have triple-digit high temperatures, more often than not. Well done, sunflower.



That's all for now. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day...!

Yep! There never seems to be any shortage of that. I opportunistically graze on that stuff while gardening, pretty much every day.

I look forward to seeing you wearing that cracker out :)
