Starting to harvest!Things are starting to slow down here...and I am spending more time in the yard and garden. Berries are coming by the bowl full, zucchinis are coming and coming...and tomatoes are growing and turning. We have still had a lot of rain and I was in the garden for an hour the other day trimming off A LOT of leaves. I pulled off a 5 gallon pail full of spotted and yellowing leaves. I sprayed the plants and everyone looks pretty healthy now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This super cherry is over 6 feet tall..and growing rapidly. ![]() ![]() ![]() All the rain and the heat have burst my sunflowers...they are so pretty and are all at different stages. I should have sunflowers until fall. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is the tinman hard at work. ![]() I have been harvesting peppers, tomatoes and zucchini... ![]() ![]() ![]() This puppy is 5 months old and I call her a miracle worker. Until our neighbor got her Logan was terrified of dogs...now he wants a puppy. This is Riley, a lab mix. ![]() Summer arrived this week and it was HOT HOT HOT. We finally pulled out the sprinkler and Logan enjoyed. ![]() Logan's birthday is today...Happy 6th Birthday Logan. His party is Sunday and we are heading to the local beach. Logan wanted a pinata but I really didn't want to spend over $20 on something that we will destroy. So we made one! I used an brown shopping bag with a handle and made an pull away bottom. We decorated it with Thomas the Tank stickers and ribbons. One of the ribbons pulls the bottom away! All the candy will fall out. ![]() Last edited: Fri Jul 31, 2009 3:26 pm This blog entry has been viewed 383 times

The garden is looking lovely. I especially like your canned scare crow man :) Clever idea for the pinata.
Happy Birthday Logan.What a neat pinata.
I really enjoy looking at your fotos here.
Your garden really blossomed, didn't it? Good for you. Your tomatoes are amazing.
What a nice blog entry to see! I see how you keep your tomatoes trimmed quite a bit more than I do.... hmmm... I am learning all the time... your veggie "arrangements" on the table there look artistic and deeee-lish... Happy Birthday to Logan! Six is a wonderful age! And I love that pinata idea -- I may have to swipe it for special occasions for my kids at school this year. Did you make the TinCanMan? What is that pretty orange flower called?
Absolutely inspiring pictures! Enjoy the bounty! Happy Birthday, Logan!!!!!
Oh, lovely crops to be, and looking so good too. I'd love to see your Logan's face when he went for your pinata. You're so inventive. Happy belated birthday to Logan. Login or register to leave a comment. |
