Coming home to the garden
After a glorious 4 weeks on the road, we returned last night. We were most excited about seeing our garden. We had our wonderful friend water for us while we were gone, and in spite of 100+ temperatures and us not being here to baby the little darlings, the garden looks great! Sure, there were a few losses, but that happens even when we're home. So, here's what we came home to... Our pots of flowers and some of our tomatoes in bales closest to our porch. The main tomato garden in our side-front yard. We planted marigolds in the sides and some basil in between, but those aren't doing as well. Our first harvest! They tasted great sauteed up with onions and garlic :) That's one of our sweet potato vines on the bottom. Tomatoes in bales and squash planted in a straw heap...something new we tried this year. The coffee canisters are there because our first squash were taken our by rampant pill bugs. We replaced them with these "collars."...
