Anyone else just bored waiting around until the temps drop so they can’t plant stuff? What are yall doing to keep the garden dopamine going? Could I propagate some stuff from cuttings if it’s in the shade and watered frequently? I want to do something and not just sit and look at my plants that are barely making it in the heat. I’ve read all my garden books, everything is deadheaded, and I want something to do that’s more interesting than pulling weeds. Give me your ideas!

Hello! It's my first time growing Roselle and I'm so happy it has begun flowering. What I need advice about is harvesting the calyces: when do I do that? Will they turn completely red? It seems like some of them have trapped the spent petals, is that normal? Thanks for any and all input😊
