summer

summer is finally here,
everything is green and growing,
this time of year I can go find breakfast out in the garden if I want to

let's go explore what we have this year

here are the wonder berries growing, this plant is 3 years old

the grapes that I had to dig up and hide from the deer

the mountain yam with it's aerial tubers that are getting bigger

one of the hulless seed squashes 

basil 

big squash plant with flowers all over

crookneck squash

the bean plants have green beans all over them 

I have cucumbers ready to eat

watermelons are growing 

here is the watermelon vine

tiny field of bunching onions 

another plot of bunching onions

the black eyed peas are getting eaten almost as fast as they can grow

the parsnips are doing just wonderful 

I hope I get something from the peanuts, at least they are looking good 

here is a bee's butt 

and now you can see the rest of the bee, it is on a cabbage flower

the tomatoes are doing well

 more tomatoes

and these are growing where there is a water leak,
and looking at the picture, there is a tick between the flowers, can't ever let your guard down

I forgot to take pictures of the potatoes...

now that it is summer,
I do think it must be time for some iced tea today
