Its been a blooming and booming summer...I have to say that this is the best garden that I have ever done. It is growing so nice and everything is so healthy. Walking through it tonight I am amazed at the progress of all the plants. Last year I didn't get a single sweet bell pepper on 12 plants and tonight I found 4 baby bells on 1! I am shocked. Until today I thought the only tomato plants that had toms on them were the few plants that I bought, but I have ROMA's on a plant that I started from seed. Every single one of the 35 plants that I started have flowers on them and are so healthy. I can't put it in words on how happy this makes me. After watering the garden, and feeding my new tire compost pit we picked nearly a QUART of raspberries! I am freezing these for enjoyment in the winter months. We will probably get another quart tomorrow. ![]() ![]() ![]() By the weekend I will be picking another tomato..one at a time off that one plant right now...soon be canning and freezing all the time! Hopefully by next weekend I will be picking a bunch of cherry toms that are starting to turn. Just in time for my son's 5th bday party. ![]() Lots of blooms in the yard today..the second sunflower has the large top bloom on it, I can't wait until it has blooms all up and down the pain stalk. This will be gorgeous! ![]() This is some fabulous bee balm that grows wild near my raspberries. this is more red then the darker pink that i planted. ![]() ![]() ![]() This blog entry has been viewed 403 times

You must be so happy at all those beautiful berries. That would be a perfect mid-winter snack. What are those pink lilies? very pretty.
Well G'mama, congrats are well in order. I'm thrilled about your toms. That's a great success rate. You should get loads and loads of tomatos this season.
