How Does My Garden Grow

Summer is upon us, at least with the temperatures... hot and humid 90s.  Though I'd rather have 80 degrees, I'll take what we've got, after that long, hard, and very cold winter!

Here are a few shots from our current garden scene.  First, fruits; next, flowers; then, veggies; and a few  accessories.


June Apples


Blueberries 

Strawberries 

Daddy Long Legs

 Daisies

Hydrangea 

Hostas behind the house 

Lettuce and Snow Peas under a shade cloth

Green Beans and Tomatoes

Snow Pea Blossoms

Yellow Squash 

Zucchini 

Four Rows of Corn 

Birdhouse

Old Bones in the Flower Garden

So far, we've been enjoying wonderful fresh greens and snow peas in our almost-daily salads, and we're really looking forward to fresh tomato sandwiches!!  Of course, with luck, good weather, and diligence, there will be much canning to be done.  Our motto: eat what you grow, grow what you eat.  Not a bad way to live.
