Little Peek At Some Veggies

 

I'm loving it!

Tassels on the corn!!!

Another Long Work Day

The dogs are always so willing to help dig up plants.  One problem...I JUST PLANTED THEM!  I finally got this monster finished.

 

I might need to repaint my chicken stepping stone.

Another beast of a bed.  SO many roots!  This one could take a few days.

On the bright side, we have tomatoes on the vine!

And more cucumbers.

This is our first tomato on the Tomato Tree,

I picked basil for Emmy...Presto Pesto basil

This is where I ended up and I really didn't want to move.

I'm Trying Something New

 This year I will try my best to work in the shade.  Last year the sun and heat about did me in.  So I am chasing the sun around the yard in the afternoon.  It isn't so bad in the morning but that afternoon sun is a killer.

I can hardly believe that this lone sunflower is coming up between the patio and the rocks in the flower bed.  And it is right at the corner and I can't believe it hasn't gotten knocked down.

I did manage to find a small bowl of strawberries.  They aren't very big but are they ever sweet.

I tackled this little monster today.  Man of man!!  I ever dug out a big old grass all by myself with every tool in the barn!  The door might need another coat of paint before too long.

Almost have it finished.  I need a little something, something in the front corner.  I'm thinking on that.  Gotta be something I already have in the yard because Mark says we are on a spending freeze...had to buy a new washer today.

Behind the red door, there is a place now called the rock graveyard.  All rocks that I dig up in the yard go here until I can figure out what to do with them.  Ask Murph, I love a good something made out of rocks.  He is not a fan.

I forgot to get a before pic of this third of this bed.  I worked what seemed like forever on this little section.  I made the dogs a little rock path where they always run through when chasing the critters in the yard.  I dug up hosta from the strawberry bed and planted it.  I even dug a hole for the grinding stone so it could stand and be a focal point.  Not ten minutes after I had finished the dogs proceeded to dig up all the new hosta!

You can see where I cleaned out all of the junk from the left side of the 'snowflake' magnolia.  I ran out of steam and had to call it a day.  But tomorrow is another day and I think it will be pretty.  We will see how much I get accomplished in the shade.

Things Are Looking Up

 

This bed is ready for pine fins.

I spent all day making it look like we know what we are doing.

A Quick Walk

 

Still recovering from the hail storm.

I see rows of corn!  Amazing!

nasturtium from seed

She looks a little naked.  I tried to trim off all the damage and this is what was left.  She was probably the worst looking tomato plant.

I Spy With My Little Eye

 

Marigolds coming up.

more cukes

The yahoos love helping.

You go, girl!
