Wildflowers .........



The other afternoon, I walked through the fields behind my house. Hubby had cut a path with the lawnmower so I could walk without becoming covered with ticks and chiggers.

The wildflowers were blooming. They may be weeds, but they are colorful and pretty weeds and made my walk more enjoyable.

Garden update ......


Thought I'd give you an update on my little garden. We got a nice rain Monday, so everything is looking so much better than it did.

In the front are onions - red, yellow, and white. Next we have three cucumber plants, then 3 zuchinni squash and 3 yellow squash. The cucumbers and squash are blooming and we have a couple of zuchinni that are ready to be picked.

Look closely and you can see a zuchinni.

This is the other square. We have green peppers in front, then cherry tomatoes, and regular tomatoes in the rear (Better Boy and Early Girl). We've gotten about 6 tomatoes so far off these plants. I had tomato sandwiches with them. Yum...

This tomato should be ready in a few days. The tomatoes have been small so far, but they've been blemish free.
