Weekend work

Yesterday, I spent a few hours in the "cottage" garden.  Things had gotten a bit out of control, in the sense of there being a lot of dead flowers on the plants that had gone to seed and also a few entire plants that had died.  In addition, a lot of grass and other weeds were growing around and among the flowers.  I didn't get everything done, but I made some progress.

Okra flowers and mystery nightshade

Here's a shot I got last week of our okra plants.  I like the flowers so much that I'm planning on moving the okra to my "cottage" flower garden next year.  Behind the okra, you can also see a wild nightshade of some sort that I've allowed to grow.  It's gotten quite large.  The berries were green at first, but are turning black.  I need to do some research to see if it's edible, or if it's deadly.
