Colorful

Some nights are more colorful than others out at Perkins Garden. Tonight was one of the more colorful.

This year, August has brought along with it clear, blue skies with bold, fluffy clouds. The dry, cool, clear air brought out the gardeners tonight. And at dusk, it brings out dozens of huge dragon flies that hover about the garden, reducing the mosquito population by the hundreds each hour.


August means that peppers are coming in, and these early gypsy peppers are getting ready for snacking. Gypsies are some of the sweetest of the bunch.

Flowers, red tomatoes, pumpkins turning orange, happy gardeners working away. Nice night.
