Midsummer Vegetation

I've been having alot of fun with Blogger Errors on my browser. I would've posted alot sooner, but again, I'm wasting all my free time crashing out in the editor. Guess it'll wait another day...
Post Pre-dated:
.
The marsh grass across the parking lot from fav beach is tall n beautiful, this year full of the wild HogWeed blooms.
.
I finally have a red root resembling an edible beet out on the deck! Don't know how much longer I should wait to pick it. The seed envelope states they grow 3 inches across. It's half that size. Even tho it's covered with hardware wire next to the white turnips, I'm paraniod the critters will get it before me!
.
The squirrels chewed up half of my Brown-Eyed Susans this morning. (Before munching pic here). Earlier this week they killed off the Canterbury Bells perrenials I've had untouched for years (same container). So today I wasted another fresh garlic clove to cut-up out there to slow them down.
.
If I hadn't chicken wire n hardware wired most of the containers- I bet most would be all dug up by now...
.
I'm glad they're leaving the pretty petunias alone at least...
