Mary Mary Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?

One thing I get teased about by friends is my pale skin. I don't tan very easy. at. all. I work hard ALL summer to get a little color. This year thanks to my trip to Panama I got a good head start this year and after spending hours outside every day, I'm starting to show a tan! I haven't mentioned this much at all but I spend a lot of time outside in our garden. I don't have a green thumb and end up killing a lot of plants but this year they seem to be happy and healthy.

This is the first year we've used the greenhouse so we weren't sure how things would grow in it. 

Our tomato plants before we clipped some leaves today. They're going to make a few jars of sauce! 

Week-end Look. Butch looks like he's about ready to go. He doesn't know that we just saved him from a watchful eagle eye.

The plants were almost as high as my shoulders before we snipped them!

Some of my beautiful flowers around the yard!

The other part. We're hoping for lots of peas and zucchinis!

Hopefully in a month we'll be able to start harvesting!
