i had one that popped up last summer near my mulberry. it sent up seedlings all over this spring. i allowed 2 to grow. they are about 5-6ft. now. both are near the road along the ditch. i agree with you. they are good looking plants. i never appreciated them until they grew amongst my plantings. they usually grow in gravel here.

Although having identified it only once in life so far, I had seen enough photographs and read descriptions of it to be sure that last shot was of Monk’s hood or Wolfsbane. Looked it up to verify.
Nice photos!

They’re super weedy and invasive in my yard. Easy to pull though. I pull hundreds every year.

They seed themselves and pop up every year. As long as you can either weed or mow them this is great. We always mow around some. The rest are mowed over and vanish. They can’t take being mowed to the ground.
Same with the Hollyhock. Nothing better than a ornamental plant that seeds itself!

Front porch planter bell peppers.
I plant flowers in all the other planters for my wife. 10 planters across the front of the porch… 3 on each end.
The 3 on the south end…I grow some kind of veggie each year. Peppers have worked well.

checking out the crabs and a few dropped. top is Chestnut on left, Whitney on the right. bottom two are trailman. trailman are already really good, just about ripe?! the seeds are brown and the flavor is excellent.
chestnut is bland, but i didn’t store these at all just cut into them off the tree. white seeds in Chestnut and Whitney.
Whitney was very juicy but obviously not ripe yet. astringent. it’s going to be good though, i can tell
also got my first two florea figs and the first round of tromboncino. in that basket. my peppers are a mess of missing labels as usual but the little curled ones are good fryers and there’s a long straight one that’s very hot in comparison. also another tiny handful of wild strawberry. those have made a lot of little berries, really intense flavor. good stuff
olives on the potted tree. these are real exciting.

Brazilian Starfish pepper (Capsicum baccatum). My first time growing one, pretty tall plant, has quite a few peppers on it.
Cocona flowers (Solanum sessiliflorum). Have 3 plants with a good amount of flowers on them. Excited for these as well, grown from seed. Will be my first perennial fruit from seed (besides pigeon peas).

The source of my dragonfruit plants is starting to flower. Meanwhile, mine are nearly fully ripened.

What started as a warm spring has turned into one of the coolest summers in recent memory, so things were a little slow to get going, but we are now well into the start of ripening. About two months to go until harvest for the reds.
