How My Garden Grows

Hello blog world, it's a fine afternoon here in my little spot on the planet and I thought it would be a great day for a garden update with pictures!
I am having a great gardening year so far, even if the weather has been somewhat unpredictable. The garden is doing well, there are things growing everywhere....
There are tomato's by the dozens:

tomato's growing very well, these will be yellow when ripe

lots of little maters here

and here we have the peppers getting off to a great start:

tiny little Green peppers, yum

And the cucumbers are starting to show up, I'm sure there will be more than enough to make some pickles and add to other things as well as slice for our salads.

kinda hard to pick out at first, look between the bloom and the flower

And the bush beans are bloomed out all over, should be lots and lots of beans soon!

Overall I would say everything is growing great. We are into the hot summer months now and have been having daytime temps in the mid to upper 80's with little to no rain for the last several days, kind of funny when I think back to the late spring and early summer when it felt like it would rain forever! So now every evening after the sun begins to set I go out and water the garden so all those good growing things get what they need to continue developing and become food for our table and pantry!

As you can see things are looking pretty good around here! I am happy to have the garden doing so well and have lots and lots of canning jars just waiting to be filled, and of course we will be eating a lot straight from the garden. I have already picked the first two small green tomato's (I just couldn't wait any longer) and fried them up, they were delicious. I am anxious for the first red and yellow tomato's to get ripe, I can just taste them sliced with a dab of salt and pepper, oh goodness, I must stop thinking about them!

Also in the last pic is my new (used) red pick-up truck, it has some rust and needs a lil TLC but it runs great and I have decided it is my new project vehicle, I can spend the coming months Bondo-ing it and getting all the misc. repairs done, and someday I would love to take off  the rusty bed that is on it now and install a wooden flat bed, maybe it's just me but I think it would look pretty good.

How is your garden doing? The weather all over has been a little odd this year, so some have more of a challenge than others. I hope all of you are having a great summer and begining to enjoy the fruits of your labors in the garden!

Until next time,
