A boring blog post about my garden.

What a beautiful rainbow....you can barely see it, but it's actually a double rainbow.  For the past week or so, it's been rain off and on.  For the past  few days we've had a reprieve from the scorching and terribly humid heat before the cool 70 degree weather.  So, it's been a roller coaster of weather.   Humid high heat with lots of storms. (Many of our friends, after a few days of storms were without electricity for days {one was without for 1 week})  Many trees were downed.  Our neighbor lost two trees...however we sailed through just fine.  I had clothes on the line and only one item came off.  Amazing!!  Tender mercies!!
We've needed the rain quite a bit.  It's defiantly perked my garden up....with out me having to increase my water bill  (last month it was $125.00, so I'm thankful for that too!)

This is the year of tomatoes and yellow squash.  Every year something seems to hit and grow prolifically...this year it's tomatoes.  I got Barry to go along with making cages for supports, as I've been wanting to make them for a while.  This year my wish came true.  I love them

Delaney is 46" tall....and some of them are taller than her.  I wonder if they'll get any bigger.

It's also going to be the year of the yellow squash.   I planted three hills of yellow summer squash and three hills of zucchini.  Then, in another spot, on another day, I planted six hills of cucumbers, two of pickling and four straight eights....at least I thought they were straight eights.  In actuality I planted  four more straight neck summer squash....stupid me.  I noticed the seeds were different, but it didn't dawn on me that the seeds weren't cucumber at all, I just chalked up the difference to variety differences, not produce differences.  So if any one has any great ways to use this veggie, send them my way....or better yet, let me know if you want some, I'll send some your way--unless a bug hits the vine!!  But let's not think in that direction :)
