A beautiful Peace rose.

Cosmos!!

A bountiful harvest!!

Look at all this beautiful food! Lots of zucchini, peter pan squash, summer squash, radishes, a cucumber and one cherry tomato. There were actually two, but I ate one before I took the picture.
Tons of squash!!
Radishes in the foreground. Not too many left. I harvested 21 this morning. Tomatoes and beans in the background. Big Mac pumpkins in the back and to the right.

The growing garden

The Kentucky Pole beans are really growing.
Two Golden Bell Peppers. Still have several weeks until harvest.
Jubilee Corn. There are 17 smaller ones growing behind these big ones. I planted the back two rows about two weeks ago.
Sweet Slice cucumber, it's about 8 inches long.

Beans, beans!

Yum! One of my favorites is fresh green beans. These are the Kentucky Pole beans.
You can't see them too well yet, but there are eight Blue Lake bush beans growing here.
The Kentucky Pole beans are coming along wonderfully. There are 6-7 around each pole.

The squash is winning big time!

This Sundance summer squash has half a dozen little squashes on it, and I am sure there will be a lot more to come.
This Burpless cucumber is growing in a semi circle. I guess it doesn't really matter. Maybe they are suppose to grow that way; hmmm, I'll have to check on that.
