In the Garden ~ Late June

Black-eyed Susans

Things in our backyard garden are growing well - especially the weeds. We're having a little mulch issue, as in, we haven't mulched at all. And so all sorts of weeds abound. Especially purslane, which I was just reading indicates good soil fertility. And it's funny because I was going to plant purslane this year, but didn't end up ordering the seeds, so I guess I'm glad to see it in my garden for multiple reasons.

So, besides the weeds, here are just some of the other things we're growing...

We've been enjoying lovely lettuce salads

Again this year, these purple-podded shelling peas.

They make great snacks, just wish we had more!

Basil. I love fresh basil. Wish we had more of this too.

Hello, tomato.

This little cutie is actually a yellow zucchini, not summer squash.

Pumpkins will be taking up half the yard in no time, it seems.

And finally, look how our garden fort is growing! So fun!
