Wow, looks good. Too bad you have such a hard time getting around in it - LOL [
] Are the green produce on vines, pumpkins? I see your peaches on the trees in the back yard are doing well too!
We harvested our first cherry and sun sugar tomatoes on Thursday (see pic) and we felt so happy, they were so tasty. Our jumbo Romas and Big Whopper tomatoes have lots of fruits on but they aren't even close to getting ripe yet. Of my broccoli starts that survived, we harvested enough for three of us for dinner tonight. The freeze cloth I have them covered with is keeping those cabbage moths from laying eggs on them, and the cabbages are just starting to make heads as well. The melon planter we've made this year has golf ball sized cantaloupes and watermelons as well as many nickel sized ones on the vines - just hope we wont get an early freeze before we get to harvest any of all these. The granddaughters planted another set of pea pods that have started coming up.
My hibiscus in the pond just started blooming. It has lots more blooms to go though. (pics, Bernie is just the kid's dog). I got a solar fountain that is meant for birdbaths in the pond in an effort to cut down on the non-aggressive (thankfully) paper wasps that we get by the boatloads at our pond. They are just unsettling there are so many. The larger batch of baby shubunkins that we moved indoors to watch them grow some have been released into the upper pond, and the smaller ones have been moved to the place the bigger ones vacated. Some look to have some good coloring on them already, some are just that olive brown color like a few of the adult fish have. The adults are not eating the ones we didn't catch, they pretty much ignore them when they are in the same area in the pond.
I'll take some pics of the garden areas tomorrow morning to share - but its not as note-worthy as your garden is.
added more pics 29 July, you'll notice I took a lot of them through the deer fencing we had to install after being robbed so much in past years.
