The zinnia are breath takingthis year. Sowing them early and in two succesions helped because they are delicious to some critters. Now the blooms are giving us more than we could have hoped for. The tomatoes are ripening and on route to being a sandwich really soon.... Like literally in a couple minutes after this post lol. With the assstance from my beautiful helper we have pole beans a bowl full and way more to come. This all I ca write for today so enjoy thepic and come back soon.

The answer to the question is update this blog with what's really going on in the garden.... So I have been promising an update for weeks now and here is what I've got.  I know that I am not the only one out there who is having a busier than a bee summer right?

Pick one or more of these things which make fore tired grumpy gals and gents. To cope we have cooled off at lakes or streams to just get away. I promise pics of the garden later which there will be several updates to discuss.

For now please enjoy pics from a small garden tour I had with a guest Mallory from Gardening Matters a neighbor, and in-laws who came through later. I wasn't in the mood for sweets yesterday but today my mouth is remembering the lemon bars from A Bakers Wife . Those guys and gi...
