Well we have gone from this...
All sunshine and loveliness...
(as a side note of complete honesty...that is my compost pile behind Baby Boy. Hmmm, I'm thinking I need to do something about that, good grief!)
With all our little pollinators so covered with pollen they could hardly fly...
To this... everything being all wet and droopy.
But we do have a few exciting updates!
So come on in and take a look around...
The Scarlett Runner Beans are blooming!
And twining...
The cucumbers are finally blooming.
The maze is slowly starting to fill in.
As are each bed...this one has from front to back...eggplant, lentils, heirloom bush beans, early tomatoes.
I have completely mixed up all my beds this year with a variety of plants from different botanical families in each bed. It should make crop rotation a nightmare next year! But I like the mixed up look better than the one bed, one crop, look of past years...much more fun!
On a completely different subject may I just suggest that everyone have this in their gardens? Yes everyone needs a chicken or two, or twenty...they are just so much fun to listen to and watch while you're out their weeding!
And if you have chickens you have an excuse for a chicken yard, which leads to a reason for having these growing on said chicken yard fence...
Which of course in turns leads to an excuse for...
Taking a little break from weeding, to take a few photos of the roses blooming, on the chicken yard fence, all because you have chickens in your garden...see my logic?
So until the sun comes out and we are back to doing this...
I'll be doing this...
Taking pictures of sad, sad flowers that have tipped completely upside down due to moisture overload!

Next week look for the new button in the sidebar for our 'Grow to Give' campaign for giving our produce to those hungry in our communities.
I can't wait to see how many pounds we can give to those in need!
