OK, so I forgot my blog sign in information, and I didn't have time to figure it out until today. But I guess when you work 95 hours a week, gardening and blogging become a little less important than sleep!
To summarize a month of plant activity at our home... our vegetable planter has exploded with tomato plants and squash. We've had no shortage of zucchinis (thanks in part to Mike's surgical removal of some parasites!), and we're just starting to get a few ripe cherry tomatoes, with lots of big green ones still growing.
Our backyard garden has some baby squashes and pumpkins, but the rabbits have been chewing the fruits, and the bugs have been eating the plants! Here they are a couple weeks ago... we'll see how they do over the next few. I definitely want to enlarge this plot next year, and put up a fence to keep out the bunnies.
This one has now been chewed up by our furry lawn pets, but it is still cool to have a little pumpkin that's bigger than a battery!
The most exciting development is this magical patch of lilies that showed up overnight. We figured that part of the bed was full of dead daylilies that the rabbits destroyed, so these were a happy surprise!!
And here's a perennial border I worked on a little while back...
We have a few more projects going on today, so hopefully I'll have more to post soon!
It all looks wonderful! I remember when Mike told me he cut out the parasites, I would never think to do that, but hey, it seemed to have worked. Counting down the year with you until you can have somewhat normal hours. Love, Mom
