I've had a fabulous harvest of tomatoes that are now petering out. The green beans have been a small quantity, but ongoing. Today I pulled the bulk of the remaining carrots, plus a beet, and some kale for dinner. Once in the last month, I went out to the community garden at night to hunt for hornworms. My friend and I found only one, but what it lacked in numbers it made up for in size. I think it ate the competition. We also found two chrysalises. Contrast that to a hunt for similar at home where we found about 16 on three plants!
Since I could see bare soil here and there again, today I spread 2 bags of composted chicken manure and 1 bag of composted steer manure in the community garden. Makes for happy plants but stinky soil.
At home, a plumeria I got as a cutting about 2 or 3 years ago is blooming beautifully. We stick our noses in its flowers each time we pass. It is still in the pot I stuck it in when it was a bare branch. I hope to plant it sometime soon, since it seems to be happy in its spot. It is slightly under an overhang of the house, which I hope will shelter it from future frosts.
