Choice Morsels

 Today begins my 6th week since I broke my arm. I've been wearing a Velcro brace off and on during the day as needed and going to physical therapy twice a week. I haven't been driving (since I drive a stick), but should be able to start doing that again soon. In the meantime, friends drive me to my appointments. I've already had a harvest of purple beans so far. Today spent a little more time outside feeding garden and flowers & refilling bird feeder and suet cage. Good exercise for my arms. Today's Garden Pic: I've had a lovely show of Dwarf Marigolds this year. I planted them all over and now that's paying off. In Florida, this is their best time of year! Both adult and young bumble bee's love them. This shot captures an adult Brown Belted Bumble Bee visiting my Marigold patch out by the mailbox. (bumbles have fuzz from head to tail with mostly stripes of brown fuzz on tail.)  

Today I gave my garden plants a fall feeding with water-soluble fertilizer in a watering can. That way I get exercise walking about. (This also helps them prep for a good bloom in spring!) Picked up another 100 pine cones and cobs and pulled up any white Vinca flowers. They reseed themselves and I prefer the pinks. Today's Garden photo of the day is this shot of  Dwarf Marigolds highlighted in the last rays of the setting October sun! I took this photo last week.  So pretty! These Marigolds fill my veggie bed like a sea of bronze and will keep all the bees buzzing with joy until frost!
