What's Growing: August

It's been sooo DRY for sooo LONG!  It's a wonder anything is growing outside.  I've been watering since March and the spots where I've been slacking are noticeable.  I don't know if I can blame it on the weather, but my enthusiasm's been about as dry and crusty as the lawn.  There are things growing "out there" but it's not as lush as previous years and I have more blank-spots than usual.

Here's a peek at what's growing (see also, Take time to see the beauty for a visual guide):
