It's mid-July and the garden, she is beautiful!

Behind the fence that protects our berry bushes,
there is a small pig waiting to bite ankles. Watch it.

Our purple Grandpa Ott morning glories are the first
to bloom every year. Just goes to show that
grandpas are usually early risers.


From far to near: volunteer sunflowers, Country Gentleman
sweet corn, black beans, moribund garden door.

From near to far: black beans, hot peppers,
cantalope, watermelon, and cucumbers.


Bun's pole bean trellises

The blooms on our Scarlet Runner Beans are so
pretty, no?


And some winter squash shot a runner under the
pole beans and into the pathway.

We have a series of little watermelons. They
start out as little nubbins.

Zucchini on the vine...the next posting will contain
a picture of the cake I made with them.

Three kinds of beets and a variety of carrots. Tomatoes are furthest away.

Our Lady of Perpetual Watering watches over our
strawberries. She's not the best berry guardian, though.
The house wrens in the bird houses near the garden
are chowing on our little red beauties before I get them.
