The front of the house is facing east, they are next to a fence that covers up the morning sun, but they get full sun from about 12 to 5pm, then, during this season they get partial sun til 8pm, in colder seasons the sun sets at around 7 so they only get 12-4ish full sun.

Have you seen those "huracaine season is here, be aware" signs all over? they seem so hostile! I think it'll be great for the valley, we need more rain for mushroom hunting purposes, dont you think?
they make me want to run to home depot and and heb and buy everything.

I don't know if this thread is only for stuff you've grown, but TL;DR..
So here goes some snapshots I've taken recently.

Nice Magnolia, .
Lilium formosanum pricei,


Hypericum calycinum,

Clemetis,

Poppies (giganteum),



Everything's covered with these black bugs this year, worse than normal. Must be the swarm of the year, we had too many ladybugs last year..

Edit- Almost forgot, Echinopsis subdenudata,
