Almost a month....

since I posted last. Bad Molly!

Things have been super busy here!

My classes are going smoothly and I am subbing like crazy! Alot more than this time last year! That's okay, I am extremely grateful for the hours!

The garden is winding down. I took a picutre of the yummy watermelon we harvested (yes, it appears we will only get ONE from the three plants I planted! :-( ), but I can not find it..it is on the computer somewhere. LOL

I hope to get some carrots and turnips in the ground to have some for a fall harvest... but we will see what happens.

Here is to hoping everyone is happy and healthy!

Molly, Molly quite contrary.....how does your garden grow?

The garden in doing very well, considering the heat we have been having.

Here are a couple of pictures:


My cukes.


My squash.

My peppers, tomatos and beans are coming along nicely also. I will take pictures of those later.

After checking on our garden... I went around front to finally get my herbs planted. I got my thyme, dill, oregano, spearment planted. Went on to plant my sweet basil... when I noticed that the soil seemed to have been "disturbed". I just figured something had been messing with them... no biggie, they looked good. Got my hole dug and loosened the container, flipped the plant over and.........



This plopped into my hand along with the dirt. Let's just say that I jumped a foot and screamed a bit! LOL

Okay... I am NOT afraid of toads...but when I am NOT expecting one to come out of my herb container, I am taken by surprise! LOL

S/He was not a happy camper either! LOL I beleive I woke it rather suddenly! LOL



So... any interesting garden stories you would like to share?

I am being over run with cherry tomatos!

I plan to surf the net and find something to do with them besides in a salad or pasta dish! LOL

If you have any recipes...I would greatly appreciate them!
