Watermelons are getting larger, produce is everywhere and butterflies and other winged creatures are drinking from flower after flower. Yes, it is July, a time when vegetable gardeners worldwide are wishing they would have planted just a few less tomatoes or squash plants this year. As you wonder through the booths in this month’s carnival, don’t be surprised to find that fried green tomatoes have replaced cotton candy!
If you don’t have winged wonders flitting through your garden this year, don’t miss Emma’s post on how to set up a butterfly garden.
