August has been a busy time in my garden, even though we haven't had much rain. Morning, is the best time to be out though the mosquitos seem to be really thick this year. With school starting next week, I have to get as much done as I can before I am lost to faculty meetings and lesson plans. I plan to bring some of my baby bonsai to my classroom to introduce my students to the art form.
What's Growing In the Yard:
Silver Queen Sweet Corn-about 15 plants over knee high
Beans-whatever the snails leave me
Beets-just poking out
Snapdragons-I thought they would have burned up by now

Welcome to Garden Guides. Fill out your profile and tell us all about yourself. I see you're a teacher. I'm a retired one, thank goodness! Oh, how I hated those meetings at the beginning of the year when I was chomping at the bit to get into my classroom to get ready! Good luck!
Oh, and we have a bonsai thread in the Houseplant section in the Forums. Do share your pictures and experiences with all of us.
