Garden Update

When you go away for a few days you miss the day to day changes of your garden. It is kind of fun to come back and see what has happened while you were gone. This only works, of course, if you are lucky enough to have neighbors that will kindly water for you while you are gone. Especially this year as we seem to go weeks without rain. We had some picking to do when we got back. Here is what we gathered from the peas and green beans.

We actually froze the green beans as we have too many coming in again to get them eaten fast enough.

We have the first morning glories blooming.

Our favorite morning view is the flowers on the pumpkins, and we found two little pumkins have started. Chloe is licking her lips for pumpkin bread already.

If you look closely you can see the start of a cucumber.

Quite a few green tomatoes. Alexa is hoping for a bumper crop as she wants us to try making our own ketchup. Not sure how that will turn out, but if we have enough tomatoes I will give it a try.

The flower boxes on the shed are almost at their summer height. They can grow high enough to cover half the windows.

Last year the roofers that worked on the neighbor's garage did in the honeysuckle. It has made a nice come back this year though and the birds couldn't happier.
