July 28: Resilience

The tomato plants are doing all right after their near-ravaging by the giant worms. There are even little suckers sprouting from the denuded branches. Interestingly, some of the new leaves remind me of potato leaves, which further reminds me that tomatoes and potatoes are both in the nightshade family.

July 29: Trumpetvine pods

The trumpetvines have starting putting on their fat seed pods. The pods, like every other part of the trumpetvine, are covered in ants.



The blossoms aren't showing any sign of slacking off, either. There are still plenty of buds for new flowers; like the crepe myrtle, they go strong all summer.
