Zinnias and Eggplant

Zinnias and eggplant. Summer must really be here, and there must be a tomato just around the bend. I planted a flat of zinnias and mixed in some eggplant in the front border. Maybe the groundhogs will get confused. If nothing else, scarlet and purple look good together. I have a feeling that most of my eggplant will come from the oasis market, the long violet chinese ones and the round dark purple indian variety.

There are eight weeks left of summer. The current week is all about painting, organizing, and cooking. Then there is a week in Williamsburg with Granny, a camp in Roanoke, a long weekend in Floyd, music camp, a week of swimming lessons.. Where are all those lazy days I was thinking about? We will sneak them in before Ella starts kindergarden. gulp.
