Look what I found!
I went out to the backyard to take a picture of the pumpkin patch because its looking so good. On the way I noticed how big the grapes are getting. So I thought I'd take a picture so I could brag a little. They were supposed to be seedless, but never trust the tag in the pot apparently.
Then I noticed that I have some cherry tomatoes that are just about ready for Mellie to fight me for them.
As long as I was in the front garden I thought I'd checkout the cucumbers. I haven't tried cucumbers in the front garden because they are vines and I thought they would get out of hand. I was right. However, I was very surprised to find these huge examples! I thought I might find some tiny little ones just starting. Surprise!
I finally got to the pumpkin patch. As you can see, I was running the sprinkler. Pumpkins are thirsty and we want them to be as big as possible for my nephews who worked hard planting all those seeds. I think the patch is coming along great!
Then back up to house where I was once again pulled toward the front garden. Mellie was staring at the fence at the green beans. How could I deny her one of her biggest pleasures of summer? She LOVES green beans.
And two rows over are the peas. I might as well let you see everything that's ready or almost ready to pick.
Well, that's it. Things are growing and it won't be long till it's time to harvest!

It's wonderful to see all the "fruits" of your labor come to bear! I heard thru the grapevine that Mellie actually prefers the peas over those green beans! Next year I would plant and extra row :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to sharing your blog with the boys. They are going to love to see the pumpkins! Thank you for sharing the experience with them.
ReplyDeleteI just happened upon this blog and decided to read it even though you seldom mention that interesting and dashing brother of yours. All my friends would read your blog if he was mentioned more. More Eric - less veggies!
