Of course, a bit rain and cooler temperatures help, too.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nYesterday I visited <a href=\"http:\/\/home.att.net\/&#126;larvalbugbio\/gardenindex.html\">Val&#8217;s garden<\/a> to give her some clammy-weed seeds and I ended up with all sorts of plants in return: 3 papayas that she grew from seed, an aloe offset, another offset of her <a href=\"http:\/\/home.att.net\/&#126;larvalbugrex\/agaves.html\">yellow and green variegated agave<\/a>, and some <a href=\"http:\/\/home.att.net\/&#126;larvalbugbio\/pondplants.html\">water hyacinth<\/a> and water lettuce from her ponds.<\/p>\n<p>Val&#8217;s yard is mostly in shade. That and her two ponds make it a very inviting spot on a hot August morning. This time of year when my garden has browned under the sun, and I think there&#8217;s no point at all in being outdoors, a visit to Val&#8217;s garden reopens my eyes to the possibilities. You can visit Val&#8217;s garden online by following the links in this post. She&#8217;s a whiz with a camera and she&#8217;s just got a new digital one so you&#8217;ll find lots of photos of plants, animals, and insects on her site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a green shade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1540"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5225,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540\/revisions\/5225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
