Garden Update-July

My garden is flourishing this year. Every year I have lessons that I've learned and this year is no different. Even though I have disappointing plants at times, I don't let that stop me. I seriously only garden for the pleasure of it, not for the amount of produce or money I save! I am very impressed with my tomato plants this year. I have a ton of green tomatoes, which is a month ahead of previous years. By the looks of it we will be enjoying some fresh from the garden goodies in a few weeks. We have already harvested tons of lettuce, peas, cilantro, dill, and the occasional strawberry! Squash are coming soon too! My flowering baskets are going crazy. I don't just sit back and watch it grow though. I am gardening, pruning, watering, and talking to my garden daily. It only takes 10 minutes to weed, prune, and water. Most of the time you can find me swinging on my swing enjoying my lush green backyard!!
