How the Garden Grew... in June 2008

Well, it's been a month since I uploaded these pictures and said "more info coming... only had time to get the pics up so far... " And now, looking at what's here, I'm guessing there's not much excitement to the average viewer... However, I'm not big on deleting things especially after waiting (and waiting... and waiting...) for the uploads to finish... Plus, I really enjoyed watching the garden grow (which is why I took too many pictures in the first place), so I'm at least leaving it for me. :)

After we used up all the ground we'd prepared and even given away some extra plants... we still had more. We decided to put them here. This is the spot that would be much better covered in concrete at the edge of our inground pool... but until that day comes, we can grow some food here. Planted tomatoes, peppers, and watermelon.

We added some extra wire for the beans and an old satellite dish for the birdhouse gourds to climb.

Snapdragons came back in the old garden spot. We'd never had any this coloro before... and the dill flowered early, adding some extra color to the garden....
