It amazes me how fast the garden grows. It seems like all of a sudden everything is huge!
The Walla Walla onions are doing so well this year!
The tomatoes are getting close! I just cannot wait for the first one. A year is just the right length of time to get over being sick of them (when they are coming out your ears!) and ready to start over.
I am excited about the butternut squash! The leaves are so big and round and pretty.
The mammoth sunflowers are, well, mammoth! There are a few flowers developing.
Peppers are setting and getting big. We used our first jalapeno this week.
Pumpkins are developing! I started late, but they are getting going now.
Green beans are ready! Ella helped me pick our first bowlful for lunch on Saturday. They are delish with a little butter and salt.
We did out first cleaning project on Saturday too. The peas were done and turning brown, so I recruited my little guys to help pull them out. The lettuce is done too, and starting to flower, but it's just so pretty I can't pull it yet!
I can't believe you have all of this in your own backyard! How I would love to go shopping there every few days :) And look at all those houses being built in the back...
