Zucchini as prolific as they can be, sometimes aren't.... as i pointed out in Pollination for the Nation , so very frustrating if they decide to not produce male and female flowers at the same time.. my friend so cutely calls them Innies and Outies and it's a great way for kids and forgetful people like myself, to remember which is which!

this morning was a watering morning and i discovered some hidden treasures...
my Marion berries, which are not native to here, and i'm hoping will do well with our colder winters have blessed me with several small bunches of berries... i've sadly neglected them over the summer and i was shocked to see berries on them.. the actual plants (only 2 of them) are only about 2 ft high at best and hidden behind the volunteer potatoes and choi which were lurking in the compost that i used for the new bed... 
a very beautiful and delicate eggplant flower, i'm sure much too late for any fruiting, but nonetheless a treasure...
the first fall raspberries!! i'm very glad that the picture turned out because i promptly picked them, thanked Creator, and popped them in my mouth!
a Tansy Ragwort with a guest.. i don't know my moths but it's was a beautiful white with black markings... Tansy Ragwort is on the invasive plant list but it's one of the least invasive in my yard... each year i only have one or 2 plants which usually shrivel up and die long before they produce seeds...
Pearly Everlasting, i missed taking pictures when they were at the height of their blooming and this poor little one is struggling with no water for a long time...
