So far in the garden we have picked lettuce, chard and squash and a few banana peppers. Soon we will be picking beans, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. I love eating the fresh veggies out of the garden but i do have to admit I don't always enjoy picking them. Especially green beans that is a long and time consuming task.
We soon will begin canning the beans that we pick, and making pickles, and when the tomatoes come in we will can homemade salsa and tomato sauce.
This year I have tried a new little venture in the garden and I am exploring with planting different herbs. We have so far planted dill, cilantro, oregano, basil, parsley, and rosemary.
We have recently discovered several kinds of baby birds in there nest so that has been interesting. A fox has been lurking around making all kinds of weird noises. Raccoons are starting to show there faces too and they have been leaving there little paw prints throughout the garden. They better stay out of my corn.
Snakes are moving around we have a copperhead that Ray spotted the other day. He tried to kill it but it got away to fast so it is still out there slithering around. Did I mention I don't like snakes. LOL!! :)
We have lots of flowers in bloom: Hollyhocks, sunflowers, day lilies, Zinnias are coming up as well as the cosmos and dahlias, Coreopsis is blooming.
So needless to say things are starting to get busy around here and by the looks of it they will be busy for the next few months.
