I thought I'd start this post with a splash of color. This is the first of Mom's lillies showing off.

The beets, everything is a lot bigger this time around, as you will see...

The tomato plants are now up over the third rung of the trellis cages she puts around them. I have a shot of some tomatoes later in this post.

The peppers are a little beat up. Bugs have been chewing them and they seem dry to me.

Cucumbers will be along shortly.

Cabbage. Getting bigger.

Zucchini...these things get really big and spread out all over.

Tomatoes. mmm hmm.

Leeks. Mom will be pulling these occasionally, as needed, to make soup.

Asparagus. 'Must be about the easiest vegetable there is to grow. Mom doesn't even weed them very often.

Raspberries.  mm  hmm... They will be red in a few days. Then you won't be able to pick them fast enough.

Big onions.

Slow but sure the apples are coming around. The neighborhood kids discovered these last year. They'll be plucking them regularly in about 2-3 weeks.

Look at all those peaches. Big and colorful. You don't know what you're going to be missing.

The red leaf lettuce hasn't had any issues this year.

I don't know why, but these cabbage are much bigger than the others.

Blackberries. Just as bad as raspberries.    

This is the thyme again. It has filled out pretty good.

The green leaf lettuce has come back alright. 'Just needed some rain.

And one more splash of color. Mom's front corner plot.


That's it for Friday June 17th, 2011.
