Pots on the deck

I was sitting out on the deck yesterday afternoon and thought this view of some of our potted plants looked nice, so I snapped a photo. The weather has turned summery again, but nowhere near as hot as it was not long ago. It's still dry, though.

Potted plants on the north end of the deck. The red flowers are dipladenia a.k.a. mandavilla.

So, the daily watering ritual continues in the vegetable garden and on the deck. The basil and chives are doing well, probably because it's been hot, but the cilantro has bolted and is flowering. Out in the garden, I picked three more zucchini and several yellow cherry-style tomatoes, and some of the peppers are forming now.
