Our garden is really flourishing!! Here are some recent pics. Grapes
We have 4 varieties of tomatoes including Cherry, Super Sioux, Better Boy & a German heirloom. They are all growing like crazy. We must have literally over 100 on the vine right now!



This is our pumpkin patch

Our zucchini squash. These plants have grown until they are as tall as my thighs! Amazing!




Our Keystone Giant green bell peppers
Our Sweet Banana yellow bell peppers
Our Jalapenos
Our tomatillas--we can't wait for some home made enchilada sauce!
Our green beans, started from seeds given to us by Grandma the Great!

And, one more
Me standing next to my sunflowers! They are really getting huge! There are cucumber vines and melons planted below and next to them. The cucumbers are using the sunflowers to vine on. Another great idea from Grandma the Great!
BabyGirl in front of a huge Cherry tomato plant! Behind her you can just make out the wonderful sprinkler system my husband came up with! We were dragging around the sprinkler to about 4 places in the garden until he invented our new method! our garden is about 20' x 20'. We got a metal sprinkler called "pound of rain" that has no moving parts and is really heavy duty. It only cost $3.25! It covers 30 square feet. When we put it on the ground it couldn't reach everything because the plants around it were so big. So, Bo attached it to some wood mounted on some pipe in the center of the garden. And, voila! Woo Hoo! So easy, just turn it on and forget it!!!
Hope you all are enjoying your summer as much as we are! We've had Bub all week and are totally digging every minute of it! We've been swimming every day, but since we're in the water the whole time no one has managed to get any pictures of it! We're looking forward to having our annual get-together on the 4th of July, and can't wait to set off some fireworks!! Until next time.....
