Here are my little Garden Sprites! Even at the crack of dawn they cannot resist getting wet in the sprinkler. Note the Cross Vine on the trellis has had a haircut:)!

SOme of the tomato plants behind the kids are right at 8 feet tall. Oh my!

I had to support our leaning Allium.


Finally, a tidy garden.

The cabbages have been yummy and the Brussel Sprouts are coming along. They are getting eaten alive, however, by something.

A late row of cukes. (June 24)

Still enjoying the sprinkler......

The Rutgers are growing....

Back corner of Rutgers.

The land between the Garden & the house. One day a pool......(I'll have to get a paper route...)

The Experimental Garden area has failed miserably. The weeds seem to be enjoying the plot.

So, here I am getting ready to tackle my VERY OVERGROWN Garden! It's mid-June and I've had to put the 'Growies' on hold while I emptied our home for some remodel work.

My beautiful Cross Vine is out of control. It's only one vine. Can you believe it?

As seen from the back here, the weeds and nut-grass (from the manure) are taking me over.

COnfirmation - weeds are present! In the foreground here is my amphitheater of day lilies. They were originally planted by our predecessors, the Thomas's. I moved over 1500 bulbs while pregnant with Graham to relocate them during tree removal. Ms. Anette is smiling down on them:)!

This is what's left of the beets, radishes and failed carrot rows.

These are our Rutgers Heirloom tomatoes that we started from seed. Wait 'til you see how they've taken off!

My Mommy's allium!! I dug them up in Knoxville just before selling her house. These are just like fireworks and they look spectacular after a good rain. Mommy always planted them and never ate them, so we are following suit.


Better Boys - starting to brown a lillte. I am getting ready to install soaker hoses. I think this will fix the problem. Need water from the ground down.

Romas - some branches are withering away and leaves turning brown down low. Hope the soaker hose will do the trick.

Another Roma. Note browning leaves & withering branches down low on plant.
