Category — Garden Time

Well my tomatoes are growing like weeds. We have had a really wet summer here on the front range! I think for the year we already have something like 14″ of water. The only bad thing with all the moisture comes lots of aphids, I have yet to find a cure for them! So here is picture of the first tomatoes and the plants they came from. I will be enjoying a Basil and Tomato salad tonight!

So these are four of the eight types we have growing, Sun Gold Cherry, Yellow Romas, Red slicers and, Honey Bunch Cherry.

I tried my best to keep the plants in order, they just got too big!

Well It has been awhile since a garden update, so here it is!

The weather we have been having lately has helped out with the water bill! Raining every afternoon and its not just a sprinkle! The plants are loving it! Growing stronger and taller each day, I swear some of them are growing 2 inches a day.

We have already picked and dried some herbs as well as had snap peas for dinner twice! Just remember that everything in our garden was grown from seeds! Only 4 more weeks until a bountiful harvest! Enjoy!

The Tomato patch, we are training them to grow up.

Hot Pepper plant, don’t know what kind yet, but its coming.

I think these beans might be my favorite, Don’t tell the other plants.

Beets and Carrots! Either you love em or you hate em.

Sugar Snap Peas are taking over, Just picked about 2 lbs!!

Watching onions grow is not very fun, Or we buried them two deep.

Got to have the Chicken wire to keep the damn squirrels outta the strawberries.

The Official backyard basil patch.

Cucumbers seem to be slow growers, but shes got a flower!

Rhubarb, It’s the first year so I don’t think its going to get big enough.

Can’t forget the Corn patch in the front yard! Hope we can keep the drunks out!

And the Sunflowers, they are about 7 feet tall!
