The Garden

I am loving my garden right now....so pretty and giving me such yummy goodies. I am amazed at God' creation. The way he takes a tiny, shriveled up seed and creates such bounty with it!

I have so many volunteer sunflowers and pumpkins...I just can't stand to pull them out, so I let them grow willy-nilly all over my garden!
I got this great wheelbarrow at a garage sale last week...$5.00!!!! Love the metal wheel!!!!




Dill...also growing voluntarily all over my garden!!

Lots and lots of broccoli...been freezing that!


I love to grow cabbage, but don't do much with it!! The purple is my favorite!!



My beans are finally starting to get some blossoms...very slow this year.



My mailbox that I keep yard tools in...sometimes my rhubarb leaves me a note...




I pickled lots of cauliflower...so yummy!!! Eating beets, summer squash, zucchini, peas and lots of blueberries, but not from my bushes. I love to walk through every evening and look for goodies. I love to put up produce, but I'm not fanatical about using up everything. Just like to have it and to give it away!!!
Can't wait for pumpkins!!!!

  4. Our garden is a bit behind yours but Randy picked beets, green beans and peas last night. Can broccoli be frozen? I bought the big bag of it at Costco and we haven't eaten any yet and I'm afraid it's going to go to waste. I'm afraid our garden is going to hit it's peak while we're in Seattle for a week - I'll have to tell our neighbors to have at it!

  5. What a delightful clever word smith you are---getting a letter from your rhubarb. It's paradise. The Message Proverbs woman indeed!!!! Thanks for the visit last night...it gladdened the hearts of the Burkes.

  12. Beautiful! I'm hoping to slowly achieve the same thing on my porch. Maybe then the landlord will let me have at the yard!
