End of month Summary

  Can you believe the summer is almost behind us? Its been a good year for the garden. What we all wait for is the colorful produce with brightens our dinner plates. This year the tomatoes have a deep red color and are juicy. Peppers are starting to turn red,yellow, orange and chocolate. Dug a few leftover potato plants up and found some huge and small potatoes under the hills. Soon I will be posting pictures  as I harvest.

  The greenhouse has been updated with a new raised floor and electrical service. The floor was just to low before and I didn't like the step down. Dug down around the perimeter and installed tin to keep varmint out from stealing the seeds. The old cold frame has been moved to the right of the house to accommodate more growing room for annual flowers. Need to add color to the landscape after our long winter of white weather.

  

  The Sunflowers turned out to be quite the conversation piece. Saw a car stop in the side driveway to take a photo. Neighbor tells me all his visitor's have to take a look. Watching them grow you could tell time by the way they turned their heads. Stalks are about 1 1/4 inch diameter.
