While we were gone my sunflower bloomed!! I had been watching and waiting for this sunflower for some time. I was so excited to see how pretty it still was when we finally got to see it.
It grew so tall!! Chris is 6'6", so this gives you some perspective.
Me with my prize sunflower!!
I also had some squash and tomatoes waiting on me.
I was really shocked at how big the squash had gotten. They were longer than my foot!!
I have had so much fun with my planter bed, I got another. I went ahead and got some more tomatoes and planted beans, pumpkin, and zucchini squash. It may be too hot right now, but we will see if we can keep it alive until it cools off some. I am really hoping we can actually grow our own pumpkin!
I picked these cucumbers this morning. Luke and I eat the cucumbers. They are pretty good. We are still getting a few tomatoes off every other day or so. The tomato plants seem to have something wrong with them, so I don't know if I will be able to keep them alive much longer. :o( But maybe the new plants will produce some.
The kids enjoy the garden too. I just wish we had more room to grow a real garden. We do get enough out of the planters to enjoy and not have too much.
