7-26-08: What a difference a month makes (garden update)

Our garden has been growing like crazy - not a lot of veggies ready to harvest yet, but lots and lots of growth. We'll see....

Here's a shot of our garden plot in the side yard. Pumpkins and cucumbers are spreading like mad.

Here's a close up of our peppers - hungarian wax ones almost ready to pick in the foreground, baby green bell peppers in the background.

You probably can't see them, but there are dozens of teardrop shaped green tomatoes hidden in those two plants.

Our first (and only) eggplant is getting bigger. Nasturiums are peaking out through the sage behind it. Parsley is thriving right beside them.

My new St. Francis of Assisi statute hiding between the tomatoes and basil & oregano (how appropriate)

Here's a shot of the front flower bed a month ago...

Here it is now! The petunias and yellow annuals are from the nursery, but the nasturiums, cosmos and zinnias are from seed.

The butterfly bushes are starting to bloom. Guess I didn't over prune them after all.
