Moon Flower & Fall Seeds

I haven't posted in quiet a while. Grass cutting and other home projects got in the way. Here's a quick update on the garden and the fall garden I have started.
Also, just for the heck of it I planted some various flower seed while planting vegetables and have come to enjoy and appreciate them. Check out the pics of the Moon Flower below:

Moon Flower - It almost looks fake. The lady at the nursery convinced me to buy this 8 inch vine she called a Moon Flower. I reluctantly did. I planted it on the A-frame trellis I built. It's covered one side. The flowers open up at dark...or close to dark, hence the name.

Sprouts from Radish seed I planted Friday...that's 5 days ago!! I planting a wall of Radishs around my fall garden in hopes of keeping the rabbits full of radish leaves instead of my other fall plantings, which include: carrots, leeks, swiss chard, spinach, various lettuces.

Moon Flower plant on the 7 foot A-frame trellis. This plant started out as an 8-inch single stem.

Zinnia

I planted a bunch of zinnia seed in small containers just to use up some potting soil. When they sprouted, I decided to stick them in front of the house in the flower beds. They've turned out looking really nice.
