I cannot believe September is almost here. What a busy month it has been. The veggie garden has slowed down or dried up. The corn was a disaster as we went on vacation and it did not get watered for 10 days. If you like half ears of corn, then we had just the product for you! The tomatoes are still going strong, lucky me. 
Otherwise, not much is happening unless you want a pumpkin. One of my Crape Myrtle trees has bloomed this year for the first time
even tho it was planted at the same time as this one.
It never got enough sun before. I had the big gum trees cut down and then someone accidentally cut the Crape Myrtle to the ground and it miraculously came back up. I thouight it was a goner. 
The fall blooming azaleas have just started.

So does St Francis. And dark coleus. 
Unusual coleus, and Impatiens. I haven't planted any impatiens for a couple of years.
Throw in a few geraniums, some begonias...
Did you know honeysuckle blooms again if you cut it down after the first June blooming? Punkin just loves the smell of honeysuckle.
"He like ta fell out, it smelled so good!" 
And the pansy is still blooming away! I do hope you enjoyed visiting my yard. Anytime you want to help pull some weeds or grass, please feel free to do so!

Pretty! I have some crepe myrtles in my back yard and love it when they are in bloom! This year they bloomed quite late... probably due to the lack of rain earlier this year.
Loved the trip around your yard. And that pansy is still going. Most of my annuals are gone. (A couple of days of no water.) But I've tried to get that bean vine watered if nothing else does. It has two blooms and the beginning of one bean. I'm pleased with it!!
Oh yeah, You asked about my Crepe Myrtle. I really don't know what kind it is. My MIL gave it to us from her yard back in 1971. Mine was just like yours. Hardly ever bloomed. We cut some trees early in the year and finally it got sun and really bloomed pretty this year.
I love the crepe myrtles. I didn't have much luck with growing where I was but I may try again this year.
