Ottawa City, Ontario, Canada

After the rain, some plants fall to ground, flowers bent, but it is still beautiful. I snap few pictures, update on how they have grown since spring. I don't think it is proper to call my backyard a garden, it is sort of a mini experimental greenhouse, full of odd looking plants, some native, some tropical, and one gardener who touch everything and turned into green. I know, it is a curse when you live in the city. Where do you think I will grow my pumpkins and squash?
