Wow this summer is flying by so fast. We have been busy swimming, vacationing, planning a complete redesign of our master bedroom, my husband has been refinishing an antique bed for our youngest peep and of course we have been gardening. I'm not sure if it was the rain, soil, sun or the PERFECT combination of them but our garden has grown beyond words...........just take a look.
My husband picks around 30 to 50 yellow and red cherry tomatoes every day!! By the afternoon there are atleast a dozen more ripe and ready to pick. Our neighbors are very happy campers, fresh FREE produce right next door! You can't beat that~
Bell Peppers, sweet banana peppers and mild jalapenos (or at least the ones I made fresh Pico de gallo last week were mild) CRAZY Yummy
Our Roma Tomatoes are finally coming in too.
And the flowers:
This is our first year ever planting Gladiolas. Guess where I got them??? Dollar Tree of all places. I think there were 5-6 bulbs in a bag for a $1. So far I have had the beautiful peach color below, the dark purple and right now a deep burgundy red bloom. Needless to say I am very pleased with my dollar store finds.
Crepe Myrtles are a southern gardeners staple. This one is a Candy Cane Crepe Myrtle that forgot it's top half was suppose the match its bottom half. All the bottom limbs are the red candy cane color and the top is white but still very beautiful.
~Happy Gardening~
