Garden Explosion

The past few days have been extremely hot and humid. We also had a pretty good rain storm, and the garden seems to have loved it! Because it rained we didn't need to water, so it had been a few days since I visited our plot. I couldn't believe how huge the plants were, as well as the weeds!

Check out our corn:

The summer squash and melon plants also grew impressively.

The peppers have blossomed and we have a strawberry growing!

Four out of six of our tomato plants now have tomatoes, and the other two have a lot of flowers.

The Swiss Chard and carrots are both getting tall too.

And! We have tons and tons of snap peas!

I think I pulled about 10 pounds of weeds today. Phew.

On my ride home I almost ran over this guy basking in the sun in the middle of the street. He got a little angry at me as I tried to shoo him to safety...

I also crossed paths with a Cottontail rabbit and this toad who did not seem to mind having his picture taken.

All that excitement and it wasn't even 10:00am yet!

Tomorrow I get to go see a good friend and dress up in pretty clothes. Pictures to come.
