Eating Out is Obsolete

when you have all these homegrown

Veggies

to eat!

Shots of the garden

what's for supper tonight?

pole beans
not ripe yet

watermelon starting to take over

Can't believe with all this space, that we feel we need even more. A watermelon garden, a pumpkin garden, a dry bean garden, a green bean garden, a pepper garden, a tomato garden... Maybe we see a farm in our future?

slicing a pineapple tomato
low yield from this plant, but great sweet taste

We're definitely making our list for which varieties to grow again next year!

Blossoms

the roses are rebounding despite Japanese beetle invasion

magic lilies

mums starting to bloom
planted these in the ground last Fall
got a bunch for cheap at Menards
SOOO much bigger this year
wish I had an out-of-the-way nursery area
for these to grow during the summer

50 cent begonias from the farmer's market
fantastic centerpiece
the ones planted in the ground didn't do as well

I'm starting to think these begonias would look pretty planted next to the peppers... a decorative vegetable garden could be really fun...
