LOL Sally, I did see about the black tip but didn't realize that wasn't your pic. Oh God just what I need another Spider mite magnate. You know how much trouble I have with those. I had better wait for awhile.
I went out and did a little weeding. Looks like the sun is coming out. Earlier it was overcast, cool and damp, perfect for weeding. I have JR today so I can't just go outside and garden to my hearts content. He likes working in the garden and can be a real help. You have to pick the right jobs when he is here. He loves to plant things, and give him a pair of hand clippers or loppers and he will go to town. Ric is running some errands (car repairs) and then picking up Josh to bring him over to switch out boat motors. We are going to a local fair later this evening, JR's parents are maning a dunking booth, I bet he will have a great time watching them get dunked. LOL Might get Josh to go along he will have a great time dunking them. LOL
Here is something JR planted earlier this summer. The giant Sunflower, Sally I remember you had one of these before.
