More Gardening
Since I’m not ready to show you my latest patchwork projects yet, can I show you more garden photos? I have been neglecting our yard and gardens lately because, like some others, I am getting over the whole gardening marathon.
I have been especially neglecting my vegetable garden, as you can see from the messiness. I only have two tomato plants in there, and I put cages around them, but they got so top-heavy and I never took the time to string them up more. So now they are sort of crushing the jalapeno and bell peppers. Oh well.
We are still getting flowers on our rose bushes.
This one hardly ever blooms, so it was nice to find a cluster of flowers on it.
Our little hydrangea trees are almost done blooming too. They make a nice backdrop against our fence. (By the way, I had to chase Dave outside last night to pull and spray weeds so I could secretly watch the newest movie trailer over and over.)
Soon enough I will be busy picking tomatoes, making salsa and canning. Then I will really be done with this gardening season. Oh yea, wait, there will be spring bulbs to plant in October. Darn.
Looking at your garden makes me feel guilty for neglecting mine lately. Can you tell me about the long, thin, pale green pepper? What kind of pepper is that?
Isn’t it amazing how much work gardening is!?! Your yard looks great!
Joan – those pale green peppers are banana peppers, which are sweeter and tasty on sandwiches.
Terri, Terri quite contrary, how does your garden grow? 🙂 I couldn’t resist! Your lucky to have such a wonderful place to grow suck tasty veggies!
I wish i would read my comments before I post them..I meant “such” not “suck”. feel free to delete these. sorry.
Lovely! We have tons of tomatoes and peppers. I’ve been freezing the tomatoes to make something with.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing this. I can’t wait to finish moving so I can start my own garden.
The image of canning my own salsa delights me. 🙂
Teri, you garden looks really lovely! I love your vegetables and those sweet sweet flowers. Thanks for sharing this with us and have a lovely merry happy day! Love to yoU!
Your garden and yard are so lovely! I have completely neglected my yard this summer with the heat…but in a few weeks I do plan on doing some weeding and planting. Fall is probably our best season for yards/gardens!
I love your yard and your flowers and your bench! It looks like my “dream back yard”. And canned salsa? yum!
Those plants actually grow veggies, my peppers never seem to produce anything. I think it’s too hot here.
