POTD - In My Lovely Garden

Our garden area had some major reconstruction this summer.  We tore out the cinder block wall and chain-link fence and had a new wall poured.




















Goodbye to the messy grapevines.  Ron, Landon and my dad worked hard to build a new fence on the west side of our yard.  My dad so graciously came over every day in the 100* plus temperatures and stained it for us (thanks again dad)! 




















Our garden plants started inside in February and were planted outside as the temperatures started to get really hot.  It was a slow start, but after we had them all settled in and starting to grow, we decided to tear out our old garden boxes and put in curbing around the planting area.  So...the poor little things were moved again.  I wasn't sure they were going to make it at that point.  But...after we got home from California it was amazing to see how much they had taken hold and grown in a week!

It has been a long, hot summer and I would have been happy to get a tomato or two out of the bunch, but they are growing like crazy!  If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and grab a handful or two!  We have Early Girls and Roma tomatoes.  This is the first year that our zucchini plants have produced anything and we have kuboka squash taking over the fence.

Happy summer!  I love this time of year!
