Hot and humid in South Carolina. We have had continual afternoon thunderstorms, some have left a lot of damage but the rain has staved off  drought conditions.

In leaving a doctors office I noticed all these beautiful Yellow Tropical Hibiscus plants. They were in full bloom.

 

This red rose grows just over my fence in the neighbors yard. It was so pretty on this day.

My son has grown some delicious tomatoes in his yard this year. The best tasting tomato I have had in years. Also I tried the 'corn on the cob in the microwave' this week. I only put in one full ear with shuck and all for 2 minutes. Take it out, cut off the stalk end and squeeze the ear of corn out of the shuck. I did make a cut into the shuck but the ear came right out with no silks - fantastic. You must give this method a try. Happy gardening.
