Marigold

This past week revealed the first hint of changing seasons as overnight temperatures bottomed out in the high 50s, a number probably not seen since June. The sun isn't as high in the sky anymore and it tends to cast more shade on the garden.

Nevertheless, the plants look pretty good. Tomatoes keep putting out lots of fruit. The basil looks wonderful and has really taken off with the drier weather. All of the Marigolds filled out, but the petunias and zinnias haven't fared quite as well.
