The Garden is Alive

Our little garden is coming along. After one pumpkin plant failing once it was put in the ground the second one has taken over the garden. It has covered two pepper plants, the cucumber that wasn't doing much of anything and has extended past the tomatoes and through the fence to the other side . Most mornings the blossoms are filled with bees doing what they do best.


The tomatoes are coming along well too. After last years poor showing the plants have shot up and now all have some fruit on them. Here's the one tomato that is starting to get some color.


Our peppers are doing something too. I was afraid they were duds this year, but not so. I guess we might eat something from our garden yet.

I too checked out the garden today. Dug one potato plant that was loaded, picked a baseball bat sized zucchini (I just can't keep up with them), pruned raspberries and picked a dozen little Roma tomatoes. The carrots are still too small (I found out by digging a couple). It does feel good to have things actually produce doesn't it. You will enjoy the fruits (or maybe veggies) of your labors.
